And then there were 2 (lightweight basses)

Ongoing neck and back issues forced me to sell both my basses over 8 pounds, leaving me with these two lovelies. A very mojo'd 1978 Shergold Marathon and a CIJ Mustang bass (recently acquired from @Lozz196 and with added black/cream/black scratchplate for a more punk/rock look than the brown tort). Both super light, both ready to gig. Just need to find a band!!!

Mustang looks good with the black plate @Clarky

Amazed the Shergold is light. The originals in the 70s were boat anchors as I recall.

My Marathon is lightweight too, and rather neck heavy, being an 8-string. I thought they all had obeche bodies, a wood that's about 60% of the weight of ash.
