Members ericz Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 I was playing bass today and looked out the window and kinda noticed my reflection in it. So I went into the bathroom with my bass on a strap. And noticed how big it looked on me. 4 years of playing and I'm just noticing how big it is compared to me. I'm not tall, 5'8, 120 pounds, but damn the body looked huge. How tall are some of you? Anyone noticed this? It just looks so awkward. What about some famous bass players? Anyone know how tall some of them are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpaceGhost Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 6' even. It looks normal on me. Some basses looks pretty funny on some. Take a look at how small a Ric looks on Chris Squire to how huge it looks on Geddy Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 5'7", 160. I've heard a ton of times when people who have seen me play meet me, "Man, I thought you were taller!". Don't quite know how to take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassred Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 5'8" 190 lbs... My jazz bass 5 string is big on me, but my Schecter is just right! Both guitar players are 6'+ and the drummers got to be at least that... so I guess I;m the exception to that rule... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 5'11", 200 and I look {censored}ing sexy with a bass....unless it's a Rick....then I look confused and despondent...and perhaps hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm 6ft 2.5 I have a BC Rich that is the size of short woman - it's case is 5ft. I am the only person that makes this bass look normal sized... anyone else with it looks insanely big! This photo is probably the best to show you: But I look stupid in it as always!

Members BEAD Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 6'1" 170 lbs. Basses look pretty normal on me I guess. I don't have a full length mirror handy to check though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SB900LE Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 5'7", 160. I've heard a ton of times when people who have seen me play meet me, "Man, I thought you were taller!". Don't quite know how to take that. The big tits you sport in your avatar undoubtedly contribute to that perception. You know . . . tall guys are supposed to have long tits, right?

Members squish_man24 Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 5'11/145 lbs...I'm kinda lanky, so my bass looks a bit big. But, when I play, the bass is moving around too much for anyone to care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
