Don't laugh Bob. Believe me, I was thinking of throwing that in as well.

"The words we don't wanna here on the TB side"
Fretboard
Action (but I like this one!!)
Stand-up Bass
Headstock
Scale Length (added).. Isn't String length a description of the scale of the Bass? Are we that snobby over here?

Any more guys?

Best regards!

Mensure? Sounds like a female thing. I would almost prefer scale length..lol

Also, when I ask, what's your measurements, I have to be careful who I ask. Might get a slap if I'm not careful.

No Miss, I mean your bouts, rib depth and string length..

I think it's more a leopard can't change his spots kinda thing. Admit it, you're REALLY just an EBG guy, hanging out with us more sophisticated types!
