I have never been able to play a large body bass successfully because I am so short. I wonder how this would do. It looks tiny. I like it. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1018 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, December 06, 2009 - 5:32 am:    Very nice, this was already spotted: Click here If you hit enter after every } (in \popgif {73686,} ) this will get a lot more readable. With small pictures you can take two or three pictures and just hit the spacebar (or nothing) between them (the pictures will show up next to each other) You can do this yourself by editing your message pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 475 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Sunday, December 06, 2009 - 6:32 am:    I always thought that the Darling body and Balance K were essentially the same, with the exception of the length of the upper horn. Until I looked at them side by side I didn't realize how big the difference is! senmen Senior Member Username: senmen Post Number: 939 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Sunday, December 06, 2009 - 7:34 am:    Flip, changes done as you requested.... :-) Sorry for the double post, hadnīt seen that.....

LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm guessing a 35" scale would neck dive though. And that makes teh baby jebus cry. Otherwise I'd have a new body shape to lust over for my next custom. mario_farufyno Advanced Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 370 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Monday, December 07, 2009 - 12:37 pm:    What a beauty! serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 606 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, December 07, 2009 - 4:57 pm:    This is what this booty would sound like!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1tcmWt_x7s&feature=related dluxe Junior Username: dluxe Post Number: 17 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Monday, December 07, 2009 - 7:25 pm:    Oh yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxg1AoEz9p4 davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8988 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, December 10, 2009 - 9:11 am:    Absolutely gorgeous bass!!!
