In my experience all the best bass players are around 5"6-5"9, so I kinda feel awkward being 6"0 and still growing. So I was just wondering how tall are you guys? And is there something to my theory? |

i seem to play mostly with 6' plus guys, but most TB'ers i've met are a little shorter than that. but much, much better players.
take out of that what you will i guess. |

Just type in 7 1/2 stone to lbs (or kg or whatever), and the most wise Google will calculate it for you.  It appears that 7.5 stone=105lbs.
I'm 5'4'', 125lbs. I did however fall under the short & fat category for most of my bass playing career. |
