Light bass

Get another of the same bass?

Ibanez makes a fair few light basses, as does Aria 2 pro

 

Dean Razor active.

 

most carvin basses are prety light, the four strings start at 8 lbs up to 9.5 lbs for there six strings, however i feel that number might be lower then that

EBMM Sterling

 

Our basses are just about that weight. BlurGHH! Go get an old Peavey T-40. They're great for flips.

 

a six string Warwick Thumb

 

c'mon guys. get serious. a Gibson Thunderbird would do just fine.

try something with an alder or ash body*coughcoughfendercoughcough*

Edit: If you like your bass so much right now, why not upgrade it?

 

Try a Fender Precision Lyte

- Active electronics (get about any sound you want)
- Very, very light
- Robust sound (good slap tone, too)
- Inexpensive (you can probably get one for about $400-$500

 

Sadowsky? Mine is 8.5 lbs.

Thanks for the excuse to show it again!

 

Most Elricks are rediculously light. Some of the 4-strings are in the 6-7 lb range

 

Sorry, I'm 46 and been around the block, but after my recent frontal lobotomy I don't remember things like I used to.. What's a "bass flip"?

Oh, and I second the EBMM Sterling vote.

 

Kubicki's are extremely light and comfortable...

but they are too nice to be "flipping" around with!

 

here comes the flak

They're stupidly light and apparently great sounding and good to play but you might find the looks a bit too much for you.

 

Fury Tornado's rarely hit 8 lb's.


This one is 7.3lb's

 

I saw that once . . . strap broke . . . took out the guitarist and the first 3 rows of the crowd . . . suck a waste :scowl:

 

surine basses are extremely light.

 

I haven't seen one of those in a long while. Can you still purchase Fury? Aren't the Canadian? I remember wanting one when I was a kid.

Peavey also makes some very light basses. The Peavey Fury comes to mind as does the newer Millennium.

 

Most yamaha's are nice and light - mine's only 5 pounds.- don't even get sore and achy after 4 hours of playing.
I guess you could get a nice 2nd handy and do a quick passive pup swap? ( Just an idea.)
