[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3]Must be something in the Avon water! Or is it that you guys have a very big bridge to throw double basses off in frustration. [/size][/font][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][size=3] [/size][/font][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3] [/size][/font]

There is a big sound/tone difference with smaller basses. 3/4 is the way to go. My friend Saff, a girl!, is 5' 3 and has no problem with any basses!

With the right technique you could play any size bass. I would say try a 3/4 My best advice would be to borrow/hire and see how you go. Good Luck. Martin
