Anything over 10 lbs hurts my old shoulder after about a half hour but I can play a 9 lb 6 oz Bass all evening without any discomfort. I use a 2 1/2" leather strap and tried a 3 1/2 but it always ended up digging into my neck. My Son loves his new 3 1/2 in strap now, LOL.
There you go, picture just taken this afternoon.

Fender Precision Custom Shop '59 Faded Chocolate Three tone SunBurst made in 2017 - limited edition for NAMM
Gibson Thunderbird Bicentennial ( 1976 ) made in 1977 - you all know the story behind these incredible limited edition Basses by Gibson!!!
Fender Custom Shop 1960 Heavy Relic in Aged Sherwood green made in 2020 - absolutely the best Jazz Bass ever built!!!
Rickenbacker 4003s in Jetglo with waverider pickups installed ( the best out there !!! ) made in 2016 - the best slim neck profile I ever felt in any of the Ric Basses I have had, and I played quite a few!! She is a keeper that one!!
Yes, I admit, I like having the pickup covers for the neck pickups.

If you can't get the Job done with those beautiful tools of the trade it couldn't be done anyway.
I should be all settled in now I hope ......... I think I just need a Stingray now...... !!!If you can't get the Job done with those beautiful tools of the trade it couldn't be done anyway.
Good daily drivers and good examples of their respective lines.
When you have Three TI flats and the Labella G saves the day. I’ll order a new set of TI flats at some point, til then it sounds great. This is my Darkstar parts bass. The 80’s MIJ Jazz neck is da bomb
Added this new Dingwall Combustion-5 C3 in Vintageburst last week. Thought I'd share a couple of photos.

That is absolutely stunning, congrats!
Here's my latest video! Checking out my Glarry P-Bass (the one from the giveaway). At nearly 1/5th the price of my MIM P-bass, is it 1/5th the bass? Let's find out!

Can't wait to plug her in and show her off in here. I'm really impressed with the sound for the price!
Gratz on the win! I dig the blueburst finish on it!
You should introduce a new scale of how many Hardluck Kings a bass is. Like the Glarry may be 1.5 HLKs but the Spector is 10 HLKs.
I think the point is to *NOT* compare them to HLKs, that creates a negative association.
How do you rate a pizza in the metric of rat turds? ;P
Wunderbar! I love esh basses, especially the Stingers
