Well it appears the weight thing has been the deciding factor for me - and I don't mean how heavy it isn't!
A few posts previously the comment was made that the sound doesn't have the 'weight' behind it, something I'd been trying to put my finger on. On Friday evening I gigged it at a local pub, on top of my Barefaced Compact. Yes it was loud enough, but something wasn't there that I'm used to with my ABM (and my Klystron which I have recently moved on). However it was lovely to not have the weight of the ABM - I turned up with cab, bass and a laptop bag loaded with amp, pedal and all my cables. Nice.
After much consideration, I decided the MiBass is going back and I will continue with the ABM (and also a Terror Bass I've recently acquired). There's just something very special about the ABM that I can't let it go - it has weight on both counts, one positive and one negative, which must cancel each other out lol.
Cheers

As we've discussed in this thread Geoff I too sent my MiBass back. Gigging last night with my ABM it just felt right and I could 'feel' every note.
I'm now at peace with the weight for weight philosophy.
