  • Most controversial thread of nearly all-time

    So, I got onto Pinterest. Lots of cool stuff there; Zombie pics, Guns, Camping ideas, Girls (naturallY) and of course....guitars!

    I keep a board of what I consider unique, interesting, odd, funny, famous, and cool guitars. Go to Pinterest.com and find the board called Sex Strings and follow it if you want.

    Anyway - now for the controversy part. After a couple of thousand pins on here....

    I declare there are way more and way sexier basses than guitars. Bass builders just freaking OWN. Amazing wood, styles, shapes etc. Yeah - there are a TON of guitars, but it is a lot of the same them, same colors, same graphics even. But hand made basses? DAMN!!!!!

    Discuss...but go look at the board and then you tell me.

    I’m sure you could embed images here. Ones that aren’t nsfw.

      I have a Cool Guitars, Cool Guitar Exercises and a 50s Atomic Architecture pins. I tend to see the same PRS guitars on there, so I am sure PRS floods that with shared pictures.

        PRS is a great example of something I rarely pin. They all look exactly the same. Maybe every once and again a really really sweet flame 24...

            I think it has to do with guitar players being super conservative and after the "vintage" vibe whereas bass players have always been open to wacky shapes, finishes, colors, etc... You do any out of the ordinary on a guitar and people freak out.

              Yeah, love those. But I dig the design of old motels, 'futuristic' interior design from the 50s-70s, and stuff like that.

              This has always been the case. For as rebellious as guitar playing is supposed to be, it isn't reflected at all in what sells and what is universally praised among guitar players.

                    I like wood, I think I could be called a purist. But I hate "furniture".

                      It's a similar phenomena to as when woman age they add more sparkle, bedazzle, highlights and jewelry to their appearance -from the tops of their heads down to their toes.

                      it's to distract from the fundamental fact that it's just a bass

                          Ace is all about that bass.

                              The received wisdom says that bass players aren't as conservative as guitar players, when it comes to gear.

                              And there does seem to be more of a market for unusual basses.

                              I'm not entirely sure what that market is, because I saw ~50 bands play last year (or more? I'd have to count) and probably 45 of their bassists played Fenders.

                              And a perennial topic on TalkBass is how all you need is a P.

                              But SOMEONE must be buying them, because they only seem to have proliferated in the past 25 years.

                              The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.
