I know I said I wouldn't buy anymore, but I couldn't help myself.......... This might be the most normal bass I ever bought!



It feels like half the weight of the Les Paul Oversized Bass.

Thanks! I like the feel of this bass a lot better than I thought I would........ I've always been more of an EB/LP bass guy. This one feels almost as light as my EB-3. It doesn't seem to have any of the "Neck Dive" I assumed it would have either....

 Neck dive is mainly  a myth perpetuated by those who don't play Gibsons.

I agree.  I have three of these and none of them neck dive.  I'm gonna replace my jazz with one of them for a few weeks, just to explore the differences in sound and tone.

She's a beauty.  Needs some chrome, though!   ;D
