Clarky Posted Sunday at 11:56 Posted Sunday at 11:56 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!!! 14 Quote

Grahambythesea Posted Monday at 15:17 Posted Monday at 15:17 Amazed the Shergold is light. The originals in the 70s were boat anchors as I recall. 1 Quote

pineweasel Posted yesterday at 10:17 Posted yesterday at 10:17 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. 1 Quote
LeftyP Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago My Gear4Music Chicago 5 string weighs in at 6.5 pounds and feels very good on the strap. Quote
