What Bass Was The Biggest DISAPPOINTMENT?

[Harpo61]

Gibson EB-4L I always wanted a Gibson EB since I was in Jr High when I saw the cover of Live Cream with Jack Bruce with his EB-3 I did not realise the the EB-4L was a diffrent animal and a 34 scale it was neck dive city.I got it real cheap and flipped it .
Epiphone Jack Casady I know that there is a lot of love for them I wanted to like this bass but I had nothing but trouble with the electronics and the bridge don't get me started the pots were noisy and also the neck was to fat for me I could have replaced the pots and fixed the bridge it did sound great though.
G&L L-2000 I had few of G&L's over the years I guess I have had a love hate relationship with them yet I will get on again somtime in the future . I had gotten L-2000 years ago on trade here on TB and while it was a real nice sounding bass it weight I kid you not 14lbs I flipped it real fast

... it weight I kid you not 14lbs I flipped it real fast

Thatr's insane. You might as been sportin' a Rick double neck!

It was a shame it was the nicest sounding G&L

I had an EB3 for a while and it wasn't all that great. There was a pronounced dead spot on the G string.

I had a Carvin B4 that has made me permanently boycott that brand. Neck warped within months of being made. Also the preamp had to be replaced and the frets where not rounded near the edge of the fretboard which was unpleasant. The pickups where also garbage. I ended up pawning it. The thought of that bass causes evil thoughts to swell in my head.

warwicks get heavy when you get the bubinga or fancy body woods. My ash corvette (german) is the lightest bass I own and really easy to maneuver,

Disappointment? My bartolini pickups before I fit on an active system, then again I also had upgraded my amp and knowledge of eq-ing so that could do it haha
