Is There Any Shame in Playing a Mini Bass?

I want to buy a miniature bass. It isn't as chunky or uncomfortable as a large bass, and it's cheaper, but when I asked the salesperson about it, he gave me a strange look, that said "You're not a child, nor are you a midget. You should buy a larger, more expensive bass". What is the harm in playing small basses?

 

no harm, les you can do with them and you look less cool but might be better to start and learn with a smaller one, he could jsut want a larger commision on a more expensive bass

 

But that's the thing! Who says it's cool to play a big bass? It's different, peculiar. I'm going ahead and buying it.

 

dont worry about what other people think! and dont be ashamed about it, if its something you wanna do, then do it.

 

Hey man, it's original. I've wanted to get a custom short scale for a long time.

 

It ain't the size that important... it's how you use it.

 

Agreed, and sold.

 

Basses are way too big, IMO, for the majority of average size musicians. Also, some people have pretty small hands, like myself. Smaller, short scale basses are the answer. If it's comfortable, you play it far better!

 

I want to get massively huge bass someday...ya know, to make up for my tiny penis.

 

Hahah. Thanks, all.

 

it doesnt fucking matter my friend, they all are capable of producing the same notes
