It's so soft I could literally gouge out chunks of wood with my nails.
My smallest textbook from school probably weighs more than it.

Great tone, but the neck profile was a little unconventional.

the lightest bass i personally played was an ibanez sr505 at the local guitar center. the body was paper thin and extremely comfotrable. as for tone and all that fun stuff it was nice but for that price id rather go with something else. | EB Musicman Bongo 4 HH

I own an Ibanez Explorer bass that weights almost nothing compared to my Gibson Flying V and Les Paul basses that weigh me down, way down.
