    So all those things we think make a bass sound different? Maybe not?

    There's an argument to be made for either end of the tone debates.myself I'd like to think each and every part make a small minute difference when isolated but as a combination or some of its parts each instrument has it unique voice.jd like to think build quality has an impactbyt who knows.i...

    Bass weight?

    I thinks it's gotta lot to do with ergonomics if a bass is balanced well it seems lighter to me.ive got an Ibanez and an ebo that are grams apart and the ebo feels heavy after an hour or two.but your question wasn't that i,was y is there so much focus on it?..we must have an aging bass...

    Does a bass being a lightweight indicate a negative?

    Tone heavy ,light.thick,thin....I'm not sure I subscribe to the idea of wieght being a tone thing kinda leave that up to eq...it's mire bout comfort than weight...if a bass is nice and balanced the weights even...if your in a fight with balance itl feel heavy everytime and might make you play...

    Anybody got any opinions on bass trems?

    So the kahler was like a Floyd style type trem I suppose...thanks.i hadn't really thought of dive bombing.lol.im guessing its a bit expensive too....your right too gotta take in that there's no turning back once you start and probably tricky to sell if I wanted to as well.

    What's YOUR reason for owning more than one bass...... or only one bass?

    need a backup and I’ve never owned a bass that went down in value much...figure if I build or buy three a year for the next 15 years it’s 45000 in the bank of retired bass players,hoping by then I’ll be able to pick a favorite!
