And size doesn't matter so much...provided you know what to do with what you've got

| | | | How can one instrument be "better" than another? They're INSTRUMENTS. That's like saying a trombone is better than a xylophone, a knife is better than a fork. |

With the exception of the trombone 
J/K! An instrument is an instrument! The guitar and bass fill different roles, and there is not a better one!

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | It's all about the leverage. With the longer neck you can generate more force with an over head swing to crush a guitards skull in one swat. Of course, once you commit to the swing you leave yourself wide open, so make sure you're standing behind the guitard and he's looking the other way. (Bright stage lights help here too.)

But I would ignore it personally.

If there's one thing a band cannot live without, it's a rhythm section. Remember that, and make sure he does too.
