I would like to try one of those out!

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.

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

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!

Oh my. 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.
