Height and Weight?

Wanderer81 said:
Might have to change my opinion on this, but it does seem that bassists are averaging out to be fairly tall. A lot of 6 foot and up players.

Bigger instrument, bigger person?

Being a guitarist for longer than a bassist, if anybody asked me which person in a band I would not want to mess with, without even seeing the band, I would say "The bass player". Just life experience. The drummer would come in 2nd.

Height: 5'10"
Weight: An embarassing 112lbs.

I really do try to gain weight :crying: I eat more than almost all of my friend, but I just seem to be actually losing weight!

:help:

I know how you feel. When I was your age, I was as tall as I am now, but I weighed about 135lbs. I can still eat whatever and how much I want.

Well, Sonic...how old are you? Younger usually means higher metabolism. I was underweight until my early twenties.
Yeah, I know... I'm only 17 (18 in 22 days). I just hoped I would start showing slight weight gain, as opposed to weight loss. That boggles my mind.
