Martin Mendez is pretty short, I think he's no bigger than maybe 5ft 6.

[QUOTE=groundzero]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.

Well when I was 15 I wasn't even 5ft. I used to think being small was abd but its not. This thread makes me want a Jazz bass just to emphasize my smallness.

Just an Ibanez GSR. Got it when I was a complete noob and didnt know if I'd stick at bass. It's alright but I want somehting better but no money. :(
But yea I was also considering a Jazz they look awesome, and the sound is much more my style than a P bass.
