Things TB tends to hate, but you love it anyway

[eekamike]

What are some things that TB seems to generally dislike that you're a proud owner of?

For example, I play a MIA Fender Deluxe with the N3 pickups that TB hated, and I love it! (though I'm not too fond of the preamp)
I also gig a Markbass 102p Traveler cab; Markbass cabs seem to have a bad rep here, especially the 210s.

So, what do you proudly play that would make the average TBer cringe?

Fender Noiseless pickups are very unpopular. I have the original series of Noiseless pickups in my Stambaugh Nashville B-Bender and they sound great! The lack of buzz is nice, but an added bonus is the neck pickup sounds the same and has more volume where most traditional Tele neck pickups sound a little weak.

I play what I want and don't really care if other people like it.

Anodized gold pickguards.

I use a cheap ass 80s peavey Mark IV solid state amp head. Got it used on CL for 100. It sounds good to me but most people here would prob consider it junk. Also have a 210 markbass cab..whoops

Pretty much everything I own except with perhaps the Rickenbacker, but even that has a certain amount of haters.

[Plake]

Gibson. Love my beat up 61 EBO. Please keep that between us though.

 

[Gabbs]

My American P is not TTB or torted
I like both active and passive basses
My main bass is not a P or J or R or G.

Gibson. Love my beat up 61 EBO. Please keep that between us though.

Yup. My '87 Gibson Thunder Series qualifies too. No one even cares they're rare.

 

[Herrick]

A guitar.

 

[buldog5151bass]

Round wound strings. Roto swings on a P bass (sunburst with tort).

For a decade I played a Trace Elliot rig with 1 15" cab and a 2x10" that KILLED.

I've used a Kustom 15" wedge monitor as a cab for rehearsals.

PA with passive speakers.

As long as I am happy...

A Squier Bronco.

Quitting and not playing the remaining shows on the calendar

 

[hondo4life]

A Behringer amp and a Seismic cab.
Deal with it.

 

[JR Roxx]

Peavey basses. Let the haters hate, I think my Furys sound as good if not better than any of my P basses.
