The lightest bass in the world?

[Metal Sombreros]

Parker Fly basses are stupid light as are the various early Epiphone basses.

Severe neck dive?

For way less than 6 Grand I got this and it's quite light.

Yamaha had a mass produced purpose built lightweight model awhile ago for decent money.

It looks super cool, I'll give it that.

PS - I wonder if those contrabass strings would work on an Ibby Mikro...

They are for piezo. I don't think they would work with magnetic p'ups. If they do work, probably not well. And then there's the super low tension to deal with?

Man, I love that bass.

It got me to gett off my rear to finish a few projects. Will be aiming for a super light bass without neckdive.
