I haven't weighed it yet. It's not tons different from my LB70P (same model, just alder body and maple neck). I thought it would be a ton heavier. It's not. But yeah, I need to weigh it for sure. I'll do that and post it here for us.
May I have a number. I play a squier vintage modified. Tuned ADGC. Has a Fretless P bass Mighty Mite neck. I put a tru oil finish on it. It's shiny, and cries pretty noises.
edit: Oh yeah.. chromes .032 - .080.

Really enjoying this G&L ASAT Fretless I picked up recently. And it is cool looking to!
Here is a gig I did with it this past weekend. I have DR Nickel Low Riders Round Wounds (045-100) and have the bass in passive mode and running on the bridge pickup.
LIVE WITH THE ASAT FRETLESS!

Man thats a cool tone you got on that bass! How do you eq your bass, and amp? If you leave everything flat, how does it sound?

My amp, a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 I had pretty much flat. But I did have the bass boost and mid scoop buttons on.
On the bass, had the bass boosted since I only was using the bridge PU, and cut the treble just a little bit. Also I was not using the preamp on the bass, had it in passive mode. I think it sounds warmer that way.
Sounds like it can warm me up, that's for sure! So... with bass boost, and mid scoop on.. your amp. How would I emulate that with a 4 band eq, and a frequence notch filter of -10b. ?? I'm guessing probably 3oclock lows, 9 oclock low mids, 12 o clock high mids, 12 oclock highs... notch.. adjust to location of warmest sound equally, string to string.
(runs to room, be back with response.)
edit: I can sorta... get that.. I have to have lows 3 oclock, low mids 11, high mids 10 oclock, highs 9 o clock. And it sounds like the frequency takes out somewhere between low mids and high mids.. And I have to roll tone off, and I can't allow my nail to hit the string. Nail sends pierce into the sound.. I can only produce that tone with my middle finger though. My index is kinda funny, you hear nail attack almost no matter what.

I normally don't use the bass boost and mid scoop at the same time, but that club has funky acoustics. Actually on stage the bass sounded like crap. But out front it sound great, which is what the video picked up.
It sure did sound good!. My lowly acoustic b100 sounds pretty good, with just the lows boosted, and the frequency in the center. and the low mids around 11-12. and high mids around 9-10 and highs around 9-10.
That's if I don't want the nail attack. Otherwise I'll leave the highs around 12-1. o clock. It's a pretty cool amp, for a stay in one location spot. But I wish it had a over driven channel. It sounds pretty cool when it's riden to the point where it gets crunchy.. but it won't do it unless its at closer to 50-75% max volume.
The new acoustic models have them.. they seem pretty cool, for a budget cab. And I don't have any money to buy new gear, I just gotta make due with what I got.. And I can make it sound pretty darn good.

In Played upright in college for a few years, not very well I might add. A few years ago at GC I found a 70's Fender frettless neck and tuners attached to a suspect import body. Great sounding and playing bass, I gave them $350 for it. Since then I bought a '75 walnut finish Fender body for $500, and sold the import body to offset the cost. Cool bass for not a lot of dough. It sounds great through my Hiwatts. It's my favorite Fender. Some video with the import body http://youtu.be/3RdCZn-rbjc and how it looks now.
Man.. that's really amazing. Makes me want to ditch my flats.. and tune back into E standard.
