| In the Explorer type bass category, I own an old, vintage, mid eighties Ibanez Destroyer X-Series (not to confuse with the EX-Series of the early 90's, which where not explorer type). The Destroyer model I have is like an Explorer on diet. The body width in the center, at it's narrower point, is just a bit larger then the width of the pickups. So, it's not all that huge, pretty confy, and the upper pointy end is a good arm rest when playing seated. If you can find one of these, you'd be happy. |
