Note: *Marked before 'String length' means it was/is the natural String length before altered for set-up or modification as seen on each Webpage link.

Please tell us what size you would call each Bass listed. Look at the Hyper links to each Webpage before posting your answers.

Using the same measurement template above, please feel free to post your own Basses or any others of interest for discussion. Pictures will also help measuring up your Bass.

**I had left out the Rib depths on purpose so as not to confuse ones mind but by request, I just added them in. I don't think the Ribs are a factor in the actual size of the Bass but does contribute to the feel of the Bass as well as air volume.
