I'm a charitable 5'8"...but the singer in my band is a little shorter. The guitarist is about 6'2", and the drummer a little taller/wider than that. Talk about a "Mutt and Jeff" group!

I picked up bass at about 15, but after 11 years of piano playing I had no problem with reach.

I'm 5'6". I feel short most of the time. I used to get made fun of by a couple of my friends... "Nate, you play bass? It's bigger than you!" Nice of them, huh?

Hey, cool! Post 300!!
Yay!!!

I ended up with the bass after our guitarist convinced me that my fingers were too big for the guitar!!! Since then, I have developped a lot of sensitivity...So every time someone asks me how tall I am, I say 5'14" !!!

I started playing standup bass in orchestra, they handed out the violins,the violas, the cellos - "Hey you, yeah the tall guy, you get the bass"

Nice pic Jeffrey. Don't feel too bad. Ted doesn't look all that tall either!

It's his hair that makes him taller than me.
