I wish I was tall people
The Fang Posted Sep 27, 2000
House ! I'm lanky, baldy AND have aquidextrous fingers. Us bass players need to be lanky - that way people can see our expressionless faces over the front line...grim concentration...

In case anyone's still subscribed to this - all the double bass players I know tend to be around the sub-5ft mark...
...or is that just because most double bassists I know are jive/rock'n'roll types, and all 50's retro-double bassists happen to be short...
For you information, all the bass-guitarists I know confirm to the tall them of this thread - maybe the two cancel...if any sociologists out there would like to study the demographics of height of bass players against musical genre

That's taller than me (Only by 2")

My point being the jump-jive/r'n'r double bassists I know being around the sub 5' mark 
Obviously I'm far too tall to follow that route, hence my wearing high heels in an attempt to fit in with the 4 string guitarists

Right, well I'm 5' and yes I am small and no, I don't dig heels.
