Hi Guys,
lately I've had an obsession with tiny bodied basses. I love a good thick P-Bass tone, and I don't think any of the small bodied basses do that.. but, I guess this is the place to talk about how cool a tiny looking bass is!

Also, don't forget how small the Alembic Stanley Clarke shape is!

I can't think of anything smaller than a Steinberger other than a DeArmond Ashbory bass

Not sure but judging from the P Bass case mine are in I would say 1" smaller around the entire body. Just a guesstimate.

Ibanez EDA 900 Ergodyne. Not only is the body small, it's also quite thin and the back surface is concave. It definitely hugs your body.
