Well the EBOF is heavier in the body due to the Maestro fuzz circuit - easily heavier then the volume of mahogany removed to accommodate it.
To be clear, my EB3 doesn't dive either.... just always feels like it's about to go, and occasionally if you tilt or bend the wrong way, it might go. Enuf to worry since headstock breaks are a concern.
Anyway, there's enough variation in weight (density) within a given species to account for 2 opposing anecdotes.
I mostly play in mid sized bars in Halifax , and frequently am not going into the board . So I've got to fill the room (and lug the stuff around)
Mostly playing blues and roots stuff , double on upright and electric . Not super loud .
Rarely use the line out on my amp , never carry a DI .
Looking at that new Mesa amp though , despite being already pretty much amped up .
Fair enuf. I use it mostly for recording so as not to bleed into the drums but still get amp sound. Was planning to carry it live bc sound guys insist on DI here... except when there isn't one which happens occasionally.
