"UWE, Do you know the respective wieghts of each bass
?....
how would they compare to an early , 61 -63 ish Gibson EB3 , heavier or lighter ?
i just realized i don't know the wieght of the basses i play!
Because the EB ONE has such a thicker body , and looks bigger , i'm just assuming it would be heavier ,
i could be completeley wrong , !
would you mind doing a little checking ?"
It's definitely heavier, not hugely though but noticeably so. That is in fact why Bruce switched to it for the reunion, he thought an EB-3 "felt like a toy" after years of playing Warwicks who are neither light nor small basses. In fact, Bruce's preferred Warwick bass, his signature Thumb, has a very thick and compact body too, maybe that is why the EB-1 felt like home to him. In any case, the EB-1 is the much more substantial instrument feelwise.
