Actually tried that. Body was nice and light but the solid neck made it neck heavy to me. Also had a Yamaha RBX4A2 "air" bass. about 6 lbs, same thing, neck heavy torgued me too much. Best thing at this point is a nicely balanced one. The Ibanez SR is good, so is the MTD, so those work for now...

In the future, not sure...

I was thinking an EUB, that's one of the reasons I wanted to try Bob's Clevinger.

Gotta keep going as long as I can, so I can keep getting my music therapy! :)

Kingston KZ4 in burled Maple.

No matter how hard I try by degenerating spine just won't let me handle a 5 anymore, so going with a really nice 4, and liquidate just about everything else. So seriously if anyone is interested in any of the gear I had there, lets talk.

Nice bass! I was just thinking today that I wish I'd kept mine. Only weighed about 6 lbs. and with an electronics change out would have been even better.

hey cincy guys!!
does anybody have a cheap, maybe used set of flatwound strings they would sell to me? i want to try out flats, but i don't want to spend the (high) price that the stores charge! (hah its a high price to me, being in high school and not working much!!)

thanks much,
dan

I've got a set of Tapewounds just hanging out here as well, I think they might fit 34" Fender type.

I'll have to get up to Hamilton and try out some of those, I've really been wanting to try one since I first started having trouble some time back.

But since I was stating a personal opinion, we'd have to assume that I do...the only hypothetical condition being a preference for a very light instrument. :p



I like 'em, but I also grew up with them. Aesthetics aside, i dig the sound.

Oh I know, I was just kind of saying in a roundabout way that there aren't a lot of choices for really lightweight basses. Hopefully soon more bass manufacturers will take into account that so many of us have bad backs, necks, arms..etc. and offer more choices in that area.

Yeah I went to Sam Ash the other night played BOTH the Hofner and Longhorn. While I could get used to the beatle bass, I really didn't care for the Longhorn.

The MTD was the lightest full size/conventional type bass I played that night, so I'm going to stay in denial as long as I can. :)

My interest in your fretless is only interest. No cash on hand at this time. Unless you are willing to take a vintage Gretsch amp in trade. But I have a feeling your fretless is worth a lot more than my Gretsch. :)
