MTD Kingston 5 weight?

I'm thinking about getting an MTD Artist, but have no way of trying it first. Just wondered what people's experiences of the weight were? Average, light or heavy? Really can't cope with a heavy bass...

Realise it depends on the piece of wood, just wondered what people's experiences were??

If you can find one of the MTD Heir generation of instruments they are extremely llight, have a lush neck (IMNSHO) and are easily upgradeable electronically. Lush beyond.

+1 I had a Kingston Heir 5 and had a Bartolini 3 Band Pre-Amp put in it. Very light Bass and awesome sound. Agree with comments on the neck, really nice. Not as nice as a Marleaux, but close.

I've got a 5 string MTD - I think its an artist (I've been told and always forget.) Its got a single MM style pickup and was naturally passive - though I have an East eq in it now.

Its pretty light - just under 4Kg on my scales. Its also a nice shape when playing live - kinda comfy.

I think this is the one I ended up with - real bright flame on it, pearlescent / white pickguard?

I'd echo all of the above, it felt a very light bass. A true regret moving it on.
