Not too heavy. I bet it balances really well.

The GS414B hanger works great with TBirds. Absolutely zero issues with how the body shape rests against the legs. Being a three point contact (neck+left side of bass+right side of bass) is significantly less prone to movement or tipping than the two point (neck+center of back) hanging stand. I had one and quit using it because it was too easy to bump the side of the bass and cause it to swing far enough for the raised TBird neck block on the back to get hung up on the back rest. Not a good design for a TBird at all. I'd take a swivel cradle stand before ever using a two point on a TBird again.
But the Hercules three point is still my favorite...
Anything under $1200 for a 2015 shipped with hard case in very good to mint condition is a great deal. This one does have some player wear but nothing that appears to impact playability and most of it not even visible from a safe social distance away.
Suh-weet! Congrats and please do let us know all about her when she arrives!
What bridge is that?
Awesome! We expect a full report after you get acquainted with it.
I can feel it's a good one, but the gut is absolutely saying no.
It's too bad i have to listen to it, besides all it's other rumblings.
Oh come on, it has a bison in the pickup!
With this talk of ‘15s, had to post this for THUNDERBIRD THURSDAY!

Officially, I don't know. My Gibson Bass Book says it's a" 3 D" Bridge. I would likely equate this bass and the Non Reverse re-issue, they're both set neck and in stock condition use the same pickup. This one is in beautiful shape and it's my intention to leave it stock.

And it has the official 2015 black replacement pickguard with a gold Thunderbird. That's a required upgrade for a 2015. Link Removed needs to know this, because that bass has his name all over it. And it needs the official 2015 club pickguard upgrade.

Since it's Thursday, and we are talking about 2015s, and black pickguards, here's a slightly different angle of the same picture as before. The 360 is lurking under the red blanket.

It looks similar to a Hipshot A bridge but is longer more like a BA bridge - looks like a very good bridge. Is that the "studio" model from a few years back?
Excellent! Also love Motorhead.
Ever hear of Doug Rauch? A big time player who died young, he had a pre-CBS Jazz with a Gibson EBO PUP in the neck, P in the middle, and Jazz in the bridge. Guess I'm not the only person (besides Oakley and Schacher, of course) who doesn't like a straight up Jazz. He came up in the "Bassists few people talk about" thread.
