My Carvins and Fury's are all very comfy but I think the most comfortable I've played was my fodera.

Comfortable basses ?

Try a LeFay! I own 3 of them and I have yet to play a bass that feels as good. Check-out their website and see what you think of my basses(they are the first 3 on page 1 of the gallery).

Peace
Hadn't really thought about it but was wondering where you were going with this thread. From these posts you can pretty much see that what one person calls a comfortable bass another person calls a boat anchor.
Unless just a curiosity, you might throw out some parameters.

O.K. Once again the Ibanez EDA series.

I played one of the Ibanez Ergo fivers, and it felt really nice. The curve of the back fit my belly. The curve of the treble-side fit my leg. It balanced well sitting,standing,or strapped. The neck was sleek, with nice spacing at the bridge. All in all I was impressed.
I was still bothered by a plastic body, rather than wood. And while it was comfortable by 'feel', it took some real getting used to for appearance. I had almost talked myself into buying it anyway and only playing it in really dark rooms. Then someone else bought it.

I have a dean q4 active ive been playin for about 4-5 years, and really is a nice feeling bass, a lil light for me though. Sound is a lil week for depth though.
Personaly i cant stand P basses, the blocky edges just dont feel right ( or look right )

That was a good one! Agreed, they are very comfy. I have a fretless, and I just might buy a fretted one. Tone is way good too.
Dark room.

yeah, Ibanez soundgears are the most comfortable i've played but...
my Pedulla is pretty darned close with standard spacing and the fast neck

Like I said before,LeFay! Not many people in America have even tried one of their basses. You should really check out their website because they really are amazing basses!!! www.lefay.de

Kubicki Ex-Factor, the bass was made to be balanced and ergonomically fit, and it is. A very comfortable bass indeed.
Also, my Jerzy Drozd Excellency is nice light comfortable bass.

By curved body I assume you mean more of an ergo style as oppossed to just a contour (ala strat-like).
I also have a LightWave that's swamp ash with maple neck that's 8 lbs or less and well balanced, slim neck, but strat-like in contour.
