Yeah, that's one of my new favorite shirts...Hmmmmm, the shirt looks vaguely familiar.
LOL!!!!Nice looking bass. I thought you were only allowed to wear that kind of hat if you played a Fodera though.
Whoa....is Roger making his bassed in XXXL now?
That bass does look BIG on Vic. Part of it is the black shirt with that very light color. The other part is that Vic even makes me feel big and burly
Yep, I'm only 5,9. That's why I'm so much into the lighter weight and easy to move stuff.
Hmm, I'm 5'7" and have the same M5V. I'll see if I can find a pic of me playing it in a black t-shirt. This could be a new contest. Who looks the smallest with their Sadowsky! (I once saw some video footage of me playing my old Lull full size 5 string. I looked like a child...)

It's sometimes hard for me to judge the relative size/weight of those of you not in the 'Mountain Man Club' like myself (200+ lbs
), but aren't you and Vic about the same size?Tom.
Nope. Ken's noticeably taller than myself.It's sometimes hard for me to judge the relative size/weight of those of you not in the 'Mountain Man Club' like myself (200+ lbs

You're my new best friend. Someone I'm "tall" to.
Cool on the pic idea tho... this could be fun.

I'm only 3/4" taller than Vic.
And wearing a black shirt. Perhaps Vic is inflating that 5'9" claim a bit?

Ah, but you, sir, are a giant among men.
Nope, but I will say a burst will definitely make a bass appear smaller... and I'm not even joking about that.I'm only 3/4" taller than Vic.

Trust me, as you can see from my pics, I have nothing to be vain about, so I'm generally a humble (yet secure) guy, and my height (or lack thereof) is not an issue for me.

LOL! Yeah, I figured that out, and hey, if we ever get a chance to meet up, the first beer's on me.Believe me I'm just jokin' with ya Vic. And I'm not (too) vain either. I mean...just look at that mug...how could I be?
So you're really just 5,10 ? You do look taller in the pic.
Ok, so here's a more serious note... I did notice the body on my MV5 was bigger than my 24F modern style bass, but I believe it's still an undersized J, right? That's what I think I recall anyway. This MV5 was built back on '04, but as far as I know, that's always been the case, right?
