What bass do you hate the most?

Anything Fender. Anything Rickenbacker. Anything Gibson.


I've never played any of those that have made me say "wow" let alone make me think they are worth what you pay for them. Just my opinion...


If that doesn't get me banned for life, that will make me say "wow"....
 
Hmmmmm, methinks this will be here an hour or so before being deleted.

This thread seems to have outlasted most predictions of its demise...

I don't hate any bass, but I used to have a 57 RI Precision that I just couldn't get into. It was a sweet looking bass (nitro finish was so cool) and had great tone, but I just couldn't handle the string spacing...

I know thats a weak reason to dislike a otherwise nice bass, but hey... I didn't start this thread.. I'm just responding;)
 
I find basses beautiful, but there was one bass that made me want to get the disinfectant and run in the other direction. It was a Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass (at least, that's the name according to Musician's Friend). I just couldn't like the fingerboard. I found it repulsive. Honestly. I just didn't even want to touch it.
