Hi, I have to find a weighing scale but meanwhile, this page indicates the weight of the LTD III at [color=#5C5C5C][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]8lb, 4kg[/size][/font][/color].

This one would be very close to that.

For what it's worth everyone should experience this bass. It's phenomenal in every way - it almost forces you to play better, dig deeper, try harder and works your ligaments. Yeah, maybe some do 'struggle with the neck' but as the man himself says - 'it's a strength instrument'.... you're not supposed to be all casual and expect resounding sounds - right? Someone buy this for the bargain price it is! Treat yourself - Xmas is coming and if you're proud of what you do this amazing instrument will zone your spotlight far stronger than anything else - Lee.

Thanks for that Lee.

The neck on this bass is more maligned than it deserves. I think the biggest influencing factor of the feel, the play-ability of a bass is the neck. Having owned more than two dozen basses, this one has a unique neck with great intonation, low action, superior stability - all in all, great play-ability. The pickup configuration provides both variety and a good home tone.

It doesn't get better for a P-bass style bass. I've decided to hold on to this one - I doubt I will get another bass with such a great combination.

Thanks to all who joined this thread. Cheers and good luck!

The neck width is the same as a Precision - 43mm / 1.69" / 1-11/16" (I measured it.)
Regarding the thickness, it is not as fat or rounded or thick as a Warwick neck (one of their new Ovangkol necks).
In the video, Billy mentions that it is modeled on the 68 Tele bass neck but I've never tried that so I can't say how close it is to that.
I don't own a standard Precision so I don't how they compare.
I do have a Precision 60th Anniv. bass which is a slightly slimmer Precision neck and the Attitude is not much thicker than that.

Thanks MB1 for reopening this topic.

I held on to this for long despite multiple offers and enquiries via PM here on BC. I have notified all those people via PM before relisting it here. I now need to sell it now to compensate for a lot of recent purchases - no trades please.

The price is updated to reflect the changed exchange rate between the GBP and Euro.

Cheers.
