Comfortable basses ?

[DDXdesign]

if you want to think Warwick, my vote goes to the Dolphin Pro I. Its shape makes it *feel* a hell of a lot lighter (mine's a 5 and it feels lighter than my thumb 4 fretless did) - the body shape is phenomenal on ergonomics, even sitting down! I like the shape of warwick necks, myself.

I agree with the Peavey G bass vote. Slick, light, curvy body. Balances well standing or sitting. Very easy to play.

My Peavey Cirrus and Carvin XB75 are really comfortable, sitting or standing.

The most uncomfortable I can think of is the Warwick Thumb, but to be honest, I didn't give it much of a chance to grow on me.

One that slipped my mind is the obvious, a Beatle Bass. Has it's limitations but for comfort it's tough to top. The only negative being headstock heavy but it's so light that's irrelevant.

Whether the bass is light or heavy, if the neck dives, I would classify it as very uncomfortable to play. I sold my warwick Thumb for that reason. Being heavy is a disadvantage, but the unrelenting neck dive made that bass intolerable.

Some of the most comfortable basses I've owned are F bass and a Modulus Q5.

By far the most comfortable feeling bass I've owned is a headless David King D-bass. Arched body ala Spector/Warwick, carved top, and headless design for perfect balance standing or sitting...

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

Yes, very impressive basses, but 1500 euro it too much for me ... 500 is ok for me. I'm very tight in budget! ...
Peace

Personally i find RIC's quite comfortable. Thats why they have now become my main bass of choice

I don't know how much 500 Euro is but I'm guessing that a good chunk of the basses mentioned thus far are far removed from that, new or used.

The financial limitation really should have been stated from the outset.
