Big? Nope. 5'7" and 165 lbs.
Hands? Average
Balding w hat? you got me. I kept it cut really short for a long time, then I retired and said screw it, Im growing it out long. Now I have the epic skullet that I conceal with headgear of some sort. Usually I go with a bandana, lol. But if I dress up I'll wear a driving cap or my grandfathers old Stetson fedora.
Quiet/intellectual- yea thats kinda me as well.

What is this thing with bald, fedora-wearing bass guitarists
.
When I think "bass player" I think someone with long, dark hair,
like JPJ or John Entwistle back in the day.

This is me. No pics of me with my bass on my phone though
Although this is one of my basses
Quite fitting I think
though it clashes terribly with my hair. Maybe I'll adopt a hat when I'm good enough to play in a band...

Wow, a beautiful girl who plays a wicked looking bass. I don't think I couldn't ever achieve that image. Well, keep rocking! Seriously though, ya look like you could kill someone with that bass, and get away with it.
Haha thanks bassdude, no it's not a Warwick, typically their baseball bat necks are too big for me.
That is my old faithful purple Stagg BC300. My dad bought it for me when I was 15 and originally took up bass. Next month I've had her 10 years. Her name is apparently Matt the Ratt.
This is because she's battered- owing to the fact when I was about 17 I had her on my back (upside down, neck pointed down my leg) while I was in the phone, the strap chose that moment to give up and she fell down a flight of concrete steps
Luckily she's built of strong stuff and only the nut was broken and a couple of chunks taken out of the body. She still plays well.
My other bass (tgat I just got) is this:
I'm hoping to get home from work tonight to find my new acoustic has been delivered too

Friedtransistor "plays" is a bit generous, after 8 years off I'm teaching myself again from scratch.
Oh and thanks for the compliment!

Ooh what model?
ITS HERE! Ibanez AEB
bang out of tune but not badly damaged (considering she came all the way from the US)
I haven't read the entire thread, so I don't know whether or not this has been mentioned yet, but...
"Nobody wants to play bass, or nobody did in those days. Bass was the thing that the fat boys got lumbered with and were asked to stand at the back and play."--Sir Paul

After being with me for 20 years, my wife is pretty accurate about identifying bass players. But I think it has to do less with physical attributes and more with demeanor: introverted, thoughtful, intense, motionless, stoic, dour, etc., etc.
Obviously this doesn't apply to McCartney, Sting, Flea, et al.

I was recently asked while getting off stage after a set if I was in the band. I told them I was the soundman.
