Equally? I don't think so.
Important, yes, but you can't argue with gravity. A 5Kg bass is still 5Kgs regardless of how well it balances, and it will exert the same pressure on your lower back etc.

Absolutely. What I should have said was that sometimes a heavier bass can feel lighter than it actually is if it's balanced well, and a light one can feel poor because it ends up being neck heavy.
