So they have made it bigger after all. Will go to the Musik Messe tomorrow and have a look. It might entice more people to go after this after the LPs of yore failed for their all too guitarish look.

So Uwe, are you saying that bigger is better?  All the girls I've known always told me that size didn't matter.  8)

That is a euphemism... girls say that when their current partner isn't really what they want... and, yeah, I heard that one before...  :-\

As for the LP Bass, I'm thinking bigger LOOKS better!

Certainly looks so from the pictures- wonder what it will weigh?

In this model, the strategic placement of several tone chambers enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar's overall weight considerably.

I thought it looked longer in the other pic but figured it was just some lens distortion.

Until we can see it next to standard body, it's hard to tell. May be longer and wider. Most girls can tell you that a little extra goes a long way.

As with penises its not how big the bass is its how you use it that makes the girls happy. You guys crack me up three or four serious replys and straight to the sex.
