That Triumph bass weighed around 14lbs correct? Or did they not allow it being held unless you could bench-press at least 225lbs..
Didn’t feel heavy to me at all.
And I’ve played a few under 10lbs.

But you are an alien. There's some ant genome in there, which means lifting a giant boulder and carrying it long distances isn't an problem.

Really? A friend had one back when they were new and I couldn't believe how heavy it was.
Most of them are heavy.
But that one, and 2 others I tried out here in NY years ago felt great, very well balanced and didn’t pull my arm out of my socket lifting it out of a stand.
I really would like to, but I don't know if I can swing it right now, even with how cheap it is. If you get it I'd be happy to purchase it down the line if you decided to sell!

Nice. I love that Weihenstephaner Vitus.
"lacquer allows the wood to breathe"
Seriously, the tree died when it was cut down. Then the wood was stored and dried. There is no exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
It has expired, ceased to be!

Did you read that on internet?"lacquer allows the wood to breathe"

Excellent way of putting it. Possibly the best I have heard.

Yes, using the definition of 'breathing' as something 'living' - you are correct, but it's somewhat true if talking about acoustic instruments. 'Somewhat' because "breathe" is used in a specific way. More 'to move' with humidity and temperature changes - so loosely "breathing". (wood expanding/contracting) But if it has a thick finish the constricts movement/"breathing" - it will sound less "alive". At least that's how I have always interpreted it. The exaggerated use of 'breathing' is if talking about solid-bodied instruments. Necks will move due to temperature/humidity etc, but a solid wood body... ah..,no."lacquer allows the wood to breathe"
