Thanks. I've sorted it. Sorry.

I see Mark already has a feedback thread so, would just like to add, I bought a lovely almost brand new Yamaha TRBX305 from Mark, yesterday, exactly as described. His house is warm and he makes a really good coffee! Cheers, Mark!

Ah, I was trying to like from a user name...

I actually got in my first band from JMB... and I'm now on band No. 4. There's probably a whole book to be written there. I'm a little bit sad that it's all settling down now. lol

How do I leave feedback, these days?

Stolen for Facebook, 😂.

I appreciate that some other basses are quite light as well. If anyone wants to sell me a 5 string that is this light, and is not an EHB, well, let's say I'm open to the suggestion.

I have to disagree with this. 5 string basses are always heavier that 4 string basses, of the same type, obviously. But yes, I understand what you mean about some basses being lighter than others. I agree with the rest of your post.

After a work related hand injury about a year ago (thankfully my right hand), I have to play with a pick! lol

I know. Extra weight as well. I'm going to persevere with it for the time being though, because switching basses mid-set is just confusing me.

Have you seen the Ibanez EHBs? They are definitely on my watch list. About 3.3kg for a 5 string, I believe.

After two weeks of trying to play the 5 string, this has only just started to occur to me. And even though it looks like I'm playing a massive bass, it seems there's less stretch on my little hand if I play above the 5th fret on that B string...

I like Lee Sklar. 😊
