Not by much tho.... also how the hell is a Vic Artist heavier than a Standard?
Yes, counter intuitive. So I weighed them again. Same result correct to 1 decimal point.The routs may not be much different in area when you have a look at the pics below and the Artist has a bridge pickup in that rout and some additional electronics.Maybe different wood densities between my two basses as well?
