The Tallness Poll

[dscott11]

6'4" don't weigh myself often!!! At gigs I get introduced as the gentle giant...

 

[alexbrownebass]

5'10", 170 lbs. About as average as you can get.

 

[Dega60]

6'1" and 290lb (Down from 340 just a couple months ago) I'm big and tall but I'm working on being not so big . . . I thought taller made for better bass players *grin*

 

[ThudThudThud]

6'4" - 225 lb.
Do I qualify? Is there a 'Tall Bassists Club'? Gimme a number!

 

[Need2KnowBasses]

Whats the best height for metal?

 

[puddin tame]

5"11, 80kg

 

[russellmania]

I'm 6' 2" and about 200 lbs. Alot of the bass players I know are girls.

 

[rosanne]

The poll is a nice bell curve with an anomaly at 5'11". Which happens to be my height.

I wonder if some of the 5'11" guys are rounding up to 6'

There was at least one person who said he measured himself with shoes on. Hey, I could add a couple of inches if I measured wearing heels!

Of course I'm complaining because I'm waaaaay short.

Don't know if someone said this already, but that looks to me like a good old standard distribution sampling of the male population right there. Y'all ladies will have to excuse me, but there aren't as many of you here on TB

It reminds me of my AP stat work, which I diligently avoid doing by lurking on TB.

 

[Eibhlin]

Im just about 5'. My bass rig is taller than me .

 

[bigntasty]

6'2", bigntasty.

 

[CaptainWampum]

6'3". Heh.

 

[pyroponic]

I look like krist novoselic's slightly shorter brother at 6'5" the resemblance in some photos is uncanny. Only he managed to find a cool band to play with I'm a social wreck who weirds everybody out big time.

 

[PhonixBass]

Six feet...on the button.

153 lbs.

I'm a skinny twerp.

 

[BassBeast666]

Im 14 and 6'1''

 

[FeuerFrei]

6'5" here, just have to rock the "big" stage presence.

 

[Mystic Michael]

I'm 6' 2" and 275+ pounds. To most people, I would seem to fit the bass player physical profile. Either that, or a linebacker in the NFL...

[sleepytime]

5'9" and about 200lb but female so I'm a bit tall. I used to always stereotype bassists to be the tall ones but now I've found they're more often short and... Let's say 'stocky'

200 lbs? Maybe while holding your bass amp.

 

[Unrepresented]

I voted 6'4" but everyone else who claims 6'4" is shorter than me, so maybe I'm mistaken.

I'm a little over 200 lbs, I'm somewhere in the "lanky" category for build.
