2008 Donald Gorman Bass!!

[Calvin Marks]

If I wasn't 5'6" with small arms and back problems then I obviously wouldn't require a bass with that much slope. I'd rather have a bass that looks a bit funny but let's me do everything with ease vs. something just too large that will cause harm. Afterall it's your musicality and sound that wins a job, not the shape of your upper bouts,lol.maybe you guys should make fun of Ira Gold who plays with a 40.5" mensure or max dimoff with 39", both are smaller basses on top, and they sound amazing!
