tim is a pretty big guy though

I look pretty small when playing bass. I'm the smallest one in my band and I play the instrument with the longest scale; go figure.

It seems as though your guitarist wears smaller shirts though.

That was at a battle of the bands wasn't it?

No, I actually wear tighter shirts than them for the most part. Sometimes it's almost a tie though.

And no, this was in the basement of a house in Rochester during a party. We're going to be playing at my college's battle of the bands during February. I can't wait; seeing the judges cry because our vocalist screams is going to be wonderful.

Shawn Lane is guitars greatest fattie.

Shame he's dead then, no more Lane+Hellborg records :angry:[/QUOTE]


Shame it is, Personae is an amazing work of art:(

fatbandit 01-03-2006 05:48 AM

Jamie, can you find a picture where he's not using a small bass? That picture doesn't make him look like a dwarf. Which he is.

I think I'm large, but in proportion to my bass. I don't look too out of proportion with the 7 I don't think, which is pretty big.

Primus_55, check the reviews section. There's a review with pics of the Conklin.

I make a guitar look normal...

My fretless is pretty small on its own...

My six is pretty average (for some reason, I think that 6 strings are just cool looking...)...

Like all Jazzes, this one is big...

[QUOTE=I0Play0Bass]^ 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...

Totally off-topic, but what bass is that? I'm so GASing for it.

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

I was heading into the basement Sound Control in the Virgin on Oxford street and saw the back of her :)
Then got Marcus Miller's autograph and left

john myung is crazily muscly for someone shorter than average

paulr is small, very small
and radiobass is non existent:thumb:

gjbassist 01-03-2006 12:23 PM

Probably the main reason I sold my Cort Curbow was because it looked like a toy with me playing it! I'm 6'3" & 225 lbs. I replaced it with a Fender Jazz and it fits me much better.

jaco jr 01-03-2006 12:26 PM

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Trujillo is 5'8" actually.
