Basses for us weak folks

My Hofner is as light as a feather.

 

Sounds like you need to hit the gym.

 

I don't know the currency difference, but you can snag a Traben bass for 350-700 american dollars. They are extremely light and have an awesome sound.

 

maybe an aerodyne? mine is much lighter than my mexi jazz..

 

Fender Lyte P bass are about 7.5 lbs sound and play great...you can get them for under $400.

 

Fender Prophecy II... (or Heartfield Prophecy or Fender P Bass Lyte)

7.8 lbs, tone that would knock Mike Tyson on his keister!

 

I am in the same situation. I am selling my American Deluxe 5 string fender jazz because its annihilating my back.

I picked up a spector the other day and it was WAY more comfortable and sounded wonderful. I have been looking into switching to spector, I recommend checking it out too.

 

basses with basswood bodies are lighter.

To strengthen your back get on a good nutrition and exercise program.

 

I hope you went to the doctor; even if you get a lighter bass, physiotherapy is a must.

 

Danelectro?

 

Do lots of ab work it will help to stabilize the back.

 

Let's let health care professionals make that sort of assessment.

 

I worked for 10 years with Physical therapists rehabilitating sports injuries.

 

with? There's a big difference between "with" and "as".

 

Certified Physical trainer not Physical therapist, the therapists sent them to me after the initial treatment. That is how I put myself through college and in fact started working with the college athletes to limit their injuries and speed recovery after an injury.

 

There's a big difference between advice and what you're doing. Shut up.

OP,
We can recommend billions of basses, best bet is to go look at them yourself.
