I always see posts along the lines of, "what's your favorite instrument", or "what bass is your favorite", but never which basses do you dislike or hate. I haven't really seen a post like this on the board thus far, and I've been wondering for the last week, so I said why not ask haha. For me, it's the stingray, I have never liked how it sounds, that weird metallic sound it has because of those magnets I've never got along with, it's not really clanky in a way I like (warwick/spector) although I do think the ergonomics on it are really solid, but the sound being the way it is just kills it for me. I remember this got me in trouble jamming with another bassist, I brought up how I didn't like the Stingray after he said all bassists should own one alongside a P and a J, and he couldn't believe I didn't like the stingray and spent the next 20 minutes showing me different clips of it to change my mind, didn't really work out and he just proceeded to move on from there haha.
What about you, what is a bass you hate/dislike that everyone else gets along with?
