Tiger vs same wood body

I think what he means is that the BT's shorter upper horn forces the bass to the left (if you're right handed). Same scale length, just different position on your body.

That can happen if you eat a big meal right before as well.

LOL... Eating before a gig is highly not recommended!
Back to the thing, I prefer the BSR just for that reason. Visually, I prefer the BT shape.

Yes, typically I find a shorter upper horn (most basses going to like the 12th or 13th fret) moves the nut further away from my torso giving a longer reach to the nut. Even though I have long arms, it can cause a funky wrist angle in the extreme. The BSR is fine. I haven't tried the BT shape but it looks like it wouldn't be ideal for me.

At any rate, a black tiger will be here The for me to start working with. Have a gig Fri night so it'll get a quick baptism.

The BT horn goes to the 15th fret with the recessed straploks and the bolt-ons with the external strap buttons go up to the 14th fret. For what that's worth!
