Short Bassists Club

Zombie Club!
I'm 5'4" barefoot, weigh about 160 lbs, and I play P-basses (with flats) 'cause that's the tone that I like.
I also haul a 2x15 cab to almost every gig.

I want in the club! According to the doc, I'm 5'4", 200lbs, and he's not happy.
Somehow, even given the comporable stats, I look nowhere near as imposing as Fretless1! above - it's probably something about weight distribution. I usually play a Squier Jazz these days, but I still love my Dano when I want the brightness, and my Epi EB-3 when I want the growl.

LaBella "Original 1954" Jamerson flats. .052-.110. The tone is heavenly.
I rotate between the above Precision, a Fender Roscoe Beck V, and a Musicman Stingray fretless according to the gig.

I'm not far off at 5'8", but my son would definitely qualify at 5'4". He's as solid as they come and definitely kills it.

Solid 5'6" here. But not the shortest in the group, our female singer has this huge voice in a 5'2" frame. And that might be a generous measurement. 
I am 6"4', 264lbs, but I can't seem to find the "Tall Bassists Club" mentioned in the OP of this thread, though my main bass is a 28.6" scale Ibanez Mikro Bass, does that qualify me as a valid prospect for this one?

5'4 on a good day, but I think I am really 5'3 1/2. Roughly 114 lbs. But I don't know doctors give a different height every visit lmao. I use long scale but started on a Mikro. Very tiny fingers and but I enjoy long scales more. Use a Squier J-Bass and have an Ibanez GRS. I like both necks but do prefer skinny necks. Finally part of a club on TB haha!
Ha that attitude can get you in troubleI'm joining the club at 5'11'' because I'm bigger than everyone else !
