I've played a couple of Baby Basses and their primary selling point is also their greatest handicap, IMO. They're "small" scale electric basses that were marketed to play like an upright, but be more portable. They don't, not even close. They DO have a unique sound that really works great for latin music, but if you ever get used to playing a doghouse bass, a Baby Bass will frustrate the life out of you trying to get the same dynamics and feel.
