Do I make this bass look too small??

Well it does look really small on you. But not small enough that i wouldnt play with it. Its fine in my opinion.

looks fine to me.

 

could be worse, you could be playing a cort curbow.

 

i don't think u make it look small . maybe you should start considering double bass to equal up .

 

borrow an steinberger (sp?) for a couple of weeks and then they won't complain about the size of your bass. Do you like it?, sounds good? That's all you have to worry about.

I was in a band of wannabe funksters that coulnd't play a laid back feel even if their lives depend on it that were complaining because I had sideburns and an overall "rockin' look" instead of using stupid clothes... We are talking about MUSIC.

keep groooovin'

It does look a bit small..but as long as its comfortable i wouldnt care what anyone says about it

 

I do think it looks too small - but I would say you shouldn't care about 'appearances'!!

But looking at the picture, I would feel uncomfortable if my fingers couldn't get between the strings. I prefer wide flat necks for this reason and when I started looking at buying basses in the late 90s I found that loads of bass felt too small under my hands. It was only 5 and 6 strings that felt right.

I just don't think I would be able to play - if my fingers were as big as they look in that picture compared to the bass neck width and string spacing.

But I think it comes down to personal preference an playing style.

 

Are you Jessie "the body" Ventura? His twin?
Good god man, you are one big mother!!

You look fine, it's your belly that makes the bass look small.

 

i bet you can stretch from the first fret to the ninth fret on it.

 

Yes - it looks tiny! But if you feel comfortable playing it then so what?

heres when we opend for Rascal Flats.

Does this thong make me look fat

 

1. Yes, it does look kind of small on you.
2. But this is only due to prior expectations of what people are used to seeing.
3. Therefor - So what?! If it sounds good and feels good, play it. Are they going to tell you you can't play guitar on that "no bass needed" song because of your physical stature? BS! If you picked up a mandolin for your acousic set, would they throw you out of the band?
4. Seriously, half the people in the audience don't know what a bass guitar is, or that it should be larger.

 

you look GOOD.

 

Doesn't look small to me.

Granted, I owned this "student" G&L for a while, and I'm 6'3"...

 

Jeez, I'm big enough to make my full size Jazzes look that small!

 

No the bass looks fine. On the other hand, the bass does make your butt look too big. LOL !

 

First off man....dude, you are HUGE!!!!
The bass doesn't look to small though. Tell your bandmates, it could be worse....think of how small a Student scale Tele/Strat would look!!!!

 

play what you wanna play!!!!

 

they should be thinking that they look like little gnomes compared to you!
