Members hasbeen Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 serisously though- at my height I've always felt these new, trimmed down J bass bodies just feel too small. Also, I bought a USA Curbow a couple of months ago.....small body...called the "Petite" for a reason I guess. Any hooo.......looks like a freaking toy on me.

Members SB900LE Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Your height I'm 6 ft . . . it's my weight that makes my ass look big on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 5'9" and about 200lbs. My Spector fits very nicely with the contoured back, considering that I carry most of my weight in my gut like a Dutchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RIC N BACKER Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 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? when i was 16 or 17 when I had my 68 P I was about that height and maybe 110 pounds wet yes it looked HUGE! I am now 43 5'10 180 and P basses still seem big to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Svi Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 Wow, lots of tall guys here. I'm 5'9", 140 (pre preg) and I always found any of SARios' basses look ridiculous on me. Maybe cause I'm not used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted August 6, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 6, 2007 I think that basses look awesome when they are oversized on a woman and it looks much more normal than when a guy has an enormous instrument. There are very few woman playing bass that are 6' tall and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members s4001 Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 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. Chris is a giant. I'm straight 6. Basses fit me just fine.

Members basschick22 Posted August 6, 2007 Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 okay, my upright definitely looks large standing next to me (and even more ridiculous if I hold it like a bass gui*ar:D), but i consider basses looking "big" on me to be a good thing.
