Neck weight

you know what was odd , is the Warmoth feels much heavier but it was only a few ounces more. I think it's the way the rods feel length wise . Actually the tele Warmoth feels heavier than the fretless Warmoth but it isn't . Does a few oz. matter ? officially.. for me no as long as it's not a neck diver .

I know a few ounces shouldn't make a difference but imo if it changes the overall balance to the head or otherwise unbalances the bass it can make the bass uncomfortable for long gigs. At least it can for me.
