Gtrguy, I'll go with that idea, but I haven't had my Distillate long enough to come anywhwere close to winning and the original owner of my bass was a studio guy...
 
As for the bass's effect on me, thankfully I stretch a lot  and try to keep it strong; I fractured two vertebrae and split my tailbone in a fall on new year's 87 and got smeared by a car at high speed 2 years later...I'm just thankfull that I walk and my stubborn Scottish birth keeps it that way...funny how my brother who's a blackbelt in Taekwondo and a yoga instructor says I probably have the best overall posture in the family...because I have to...Tony.
