Bass Boomer Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Its a bit heavy... (5,3KG / 11,7 lbs) ...but that makes sound like a pinao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Horton Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I had a 5 string version of this bass in the babinga wood combination. It had a fantastic tone but weighed over 12lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukbassboy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have the 5 string of this in flamed maple and whilst its heavy on the scales, it is very well balanced and really doesn't feel that heavy at all. Incredible basses tone and construction wise, can't recommend them enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGTips Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I had one of these. It was a great bass. I only sold it as I found the 35" scale a bit big for my small hands I didn't have any issues with the weight. Good luck with the sale.

[/quote] Sorry for the thread hijack (on the plus side you do get a free bump!) but I've got question about the scale difference. I've seen quite a few people on the forums comment about how the 35" scale is too big for them etc and with this being my first non-34" base I was genuinely concerned about how I would find the transition, particularly as I planned to use my other bases for practices and only wheel this one out for the more 'upmarktet' gigs where I wouldn't risk damaging one of these incredible bases. Turns out I can't tell the difference whatsoever and in reasoning it I figured it is one extra inch, 25.4 millimetre, which spread across 24 frets and the pickups is less than a millimetre difference per fret! How do people notice such tiny tolerances or am I missing something? p.s. please don't take this as me having a go at those that don't get along with 35" scale bases, I'm genuinely just curious (and hopefully for the OP, putting some potential buyers minds at rest that some really cant tell the difference!).
