What signature model is actually worth it?

Thank you. I saw a comment on here saying they can range from 8.5lbs (possibly even slightly less) to a whopping 10.5lbs. My Player P is 8.6lbs, still relatively light for a P, but at the top end of what my back can take these days. If I see a Nate Mendel at the lighter end of the range, I'll try it for sure, as I know it's possible to shed further weight with the likes of Hipshot USA tuners, BBOT bridge, etc. I love P basses with slimmer necks, I love CAR and am beginning to like nitro finishes, so I feel like I have to try a Nate someday.

Yeah, you should! I'd look for a used one though, the new prices are too high (for me at least).

I be interested in an Epiphone Woody Allen.

Tell you what.....I played a friends Allen Woody a while back and I fell in love with it! Bought one for myself a few days later. Damned fine bass! I changed out the tuners and installed a Gibson bridge - simple because they seemed a tad "stabler"..if that makes sense.

Oh, for those who don't know Woody's work, listen to Government Mule. The guy was FIRE!!!

By any chance, was he in a band with EARTH and WIND?
