Ridiculously big/small bassists *giggles*
 

Now we all know that fender Jazz Basses aren't exactly tiny instruments, but on some people they just look ridiculous (however good a bassist they are).

Observe:

Marcus Miller (ridiculously small)

*giggles* :p

What about that huge guy from Bowling for Soup? Isn't he the bassist? I don't think he is, but holy crap! That dude's huge.

Matt Rubano from Taking Back Sunday's really small...he's like 5'5" or something.

I heard Billy Sheehan and Les Claypool are tall, too.

the second ones a bad link. and i dont think either look ridiculous, but giggle away...like a little girl... they do pwn you at bassing tho, so enjoy it while they are famous and shizzle

^ The guy from The Killers pwns at bassing? :lol:

I can understand MM, but him? Jenny was a Friend of Mine's bassline = auditory rape.

You obviously haven't heard jenny was a friend of mine? Or any of their stuff because then you would know he his actually really good.

Yeah... the Killer's guy pwns at bass. For sure.

Yes because by fact. By complete fact. He is really good.

^ Yeah I have. I hate that bassline. I referenced it in my post, saying it was "auditory rape." :lol:

I think he tries way too hard.

All I'm saying is that I wouldn't say he "pwns" at bass. Marcus Miller is someone who "pwns" at bass. I wouldn't say the guy from The Killers is an amazing bassist. I find him boring, but that's just me. I'm not really into The Killers anyway, but he's better than most mainstream bassists (not saying much).

To each their own...

I really don't understand how any of those pictures look ridiculous..however Marcus Miller is the MAN.

I realize it's a short scale bass, but nevertheless, Jean is pretty huge.

i reckon that Mark Stoermer does pwn TS at bass. However, that's just me. In all fairness i don't give a sh¡t.

Aww, he looks like you could just put him in your pocket and carry him around. :p

Charlotte Cooper from The Subways, I always thought basses looked big on her. F'ing hot though, phwoar.

seriously jenny was a friend of mine.....like worst bass line ever. thats my least favorite song on that album, i love the ban,d but that bass player isnt all that good.

Any bass looks too big for me.

Jean Baudin is a monster.

For what is basically a pop band, I thought his lines were good; bold, complex and generally influencing in the bass industry. Alot of my friends/people that have become friends started bass because of him. He is ****ing ugly though.

I woudln't say he pwns, or in the same league as Wooten or Claypool, but for a mainstream bassist he isn't that bad, certainly not auditory rape to me,

But like you said, each to his/her own

....all basses look small on me, except fenders...

To each his own.

I would rather listen to the Killer's bassist rather than Wooten.

Ok? Bye

how could I forget?!? Evil Jared! He's immense

Haha, I personally love the catchy bassline in Jenny Was A Friend of Mine. I'm also a big fan of the killers. I don't think they get enough credit for their album. Its one of those albums I can listen to and every song is a great one.

Just my opiinion though :)


lets try and get back on track :p




Steve Lawson and Victor Wooten are supposedly both short...

[QUOTE=An article on Wooten from Steve's website]we’re both the same height, we’re both short[/QUOTE]

I've always though Steve Harris looks pretty short, maybe that's just me though :amaze:

I think Vic was talking about him and Steve Bailey being short.

[QUOTE=jamie_dunce]Steve Lawson and Victor Wooten are supposedly both short...[/QUOTE]

Vic's is tiny, but Steve Lawson's massive! He's bigger than me and I'm at least 6 ft 1. Maybe you mean Steve Bailey.
