Hi - Me again!
Just popped in for lunch, as it's been some time. . . .
Hope you are all well!
Just read in "Other brands" about the pawn shop T-40, although
I can't see the pics,
It also included the "Boat anchor" reference - Tank, is another one.
Yes, these are a little on the weighty side
but are very well balanced.
I have a few "Divers" but only really as a collector, they are not easy to play
comfortably.
Anyone here got a
Thunderbird type bass?? - OK, OK - not all at once!
Most of you, then!
I have a good friend who plays a T Bird - just under 10lbs!
He does, however, rest his arm on the body, to balance it (he does the same with
an Explorer type) and just for a laugh, I said - take your forearm off it and don't
"hold up" the neck.
Now play.
Mmm, not so comfortable!
Then, I tied a cord on the rear strap button and hung the first thing I could find
that would do the job - a large ish tin of paint.
That just about balanced it, a treat!
Weight of the paint tin - just over 2 1/4 lbs!!
So, a total of 12.25 lbs!
Mmm, makes a Forty sound quite reasonable.
Waits for deluge of abuse!
Cheers.
