Half-fretless basses, like fretless from the twelfth fret?
No good. Two half-things that are neither good nor not good, but together not good.

What's your litmus test here? What about "possibly ironic" moustaches? What about There Will Be Blood/Harry Reems style moustaches? Yay or nay? I am concerned that my possibly ironic moustache may be sending the wrong signals to internet losers like me. That and my drummer throne with a back rest and Roland octo-pad.

I had a giant Hartke bass amp for years and it sounded fucking awesome.
I slightly know the guy who runs one of the bigger London equipment hire firms, and he says Hartke stands for Horrible American Rubbish That Keeps Exploding.

176Locking nuts and Floyd Roses always make me prepare for the worst.
As do guitar pick holders mounted on mic stands, drummers wearing drum slippers, and bassists with about 18" of strap holding their instrument directly beneath the chin.

Now. Go.
Crates are often a sign of poverty as well. My 16-year-old self was proof of that.
