Basses with small bodies?

[Modman]

I'd reccomend an Ibanez SR series basses, especially the premium ranges and upwards. They're light, small and thin with great hardware and pickups.

This is a good shout. I played a 1205 recently and the body was very small and ergonomic. Didn't like the string spacing but that's another story.

Now that you mention it, I actually own a 1205 and I absolutely love it. My previous bass had small string spacing so i felt at home with it.

So yeah, two thumbs up for the 1205

Warwick Corvette - I absolutely love mine :-)

Danelectro Longhorn basses are quite small-bodied and unfeasibly lightweight.

Pawn Shop Mustang. Kicks the butt of a P bass as well

Fernandes Nomad? It's certainly small, and rounish at least.

That's gorgeous!

[Machines]

Agreed on Corvettes. Here's mine with it's relatively larger bodied friends.

[M@23]

Another shout for the Corvette. Very comfortable.

[fretmeister]

The Fender Urge is a fair bit smaller and lighter than the jazz it's based on.

[Machines]

The absolute opposite of small bodied award goes to the Yamaha BB series. It wasn't an acronym for Broad Bass without justification.

Vote for Warwick Thumb NT, Warwick Streamer, Roscoe LG.

[2elliot]

Pedulla Mvp, Tune Bass Maniac, Warwick Thumb, Yamaha Motion.

[pantherairsoft]

Rim Marseer is probably the shortest (end of neck - end of body wise) I've played, but is very wide. So depends on what part of 'small' you're looking for.

As above, Roscoe LG is very petite. Some of the old Steinberger stuff. Zeta Crossover. Status Streamline.

There's loads of little uns' out there.

[tauzero]

Warwick Thumb NT

[Treb]

MusicMan Sterling bass. Smalller body than P & J basses, weighs less too.

[Andyjr1515]

Warwick Thumb NT. it's round, it's tiny but it has mass and resulting gravitas from the very heavy Bubinga wood
