If I was in the PA anyway there is no way I could ever be arsed to carry big cabs around. Life is too short to be lugging 8x10s about. My little Barefaced One10s are perfect for stage monitoring I'd probably take the fosters though - maybe hang up a poster of the 8x10s on my side.

The old Washburn acoustic basses were great and come up at about £250 used. Have you got other instruments you can sell off? If you can then the lightest full scale solid body is probably the Sandberg Superlight TT4. They vary of course, but they are 6.5 to 6.8lb most of the time. Superb instruments!
-
I have had those before. Stopped using them when I was 5 strings only because the B string sucks. Might try them again!
-
I've been playing my SL TT4 a lot with my big band. Currently strung with nickel D'addario. I like them a lot, but I have to say in a Big Band environment they are a bit twangy. I'm wondering whether to just let them get old, or put flats back on it.
-
I’ve ordered the FL. Fingers crossed I like them

Way too heavy for me! and him when he got older

I am a big Duck Dunn fan.... mmmm..
-
I’m not a fan of rounds on a P, unless I’m in a rock band.
-
Rotos? I seem to. remember they are very bright too start but then mellow out. Been a long time since I tried them though.
-
I would not have called TIs old school. They are not like La Bella flats. The TIs cut through plenty, even when I’m n the same space as the trombones.
-
At the moment they both have TI flats on them. Im thinking of putting different stings on one of them for a bit of variety. Definitely flats, but which? My current gig is a big band with about 20 people. Brass, reeds, piano, drums etc.

The US specials have shallower necks too - which is why I have them.

I bought two US Specials in 10 days earlier this year. I understand!

Selling my Boss Katana 100W 1x12 guitar combo. Photos to follow, but it is immaculate and even still has the cardboard control explanation thingy on it. The £80 footpedal is the posh Roland one that lets you access all 4 channels and also swap to FX mode to turn them on and off, and other stuff I never discovered. Quick demo: TIME LIMITED SPECIAL OFFER: SPECIAL OFFER while something else is still available... £200 for both. No shipping, cash on collection. No movement on price. (The footswitches go used on ebay for £50-£65 on their own!) If the other thing I want sells then it goes back to the entirely reasonable higher price. -
On hold! -

Thank you. It's a good weight but too much for me alas. -

Ooo! Do you know the weight please? -
More gain in the house, less gain in stage. Same with all driven tones.

I've performed it a couple of times. I used a Boss LS2 to split my signal. In 1 loop I had a Digitech Bass Synth Wah, and in the other an EHX Metal Muff. Took some tweeking but it sounded excellent. One of the performances was a drunken jam that was on youtube, but I can't find it now. Maybe it was taken down by the person who filmed it.

Sandberg TT4 Superlight is the answer. Under 7lb, brilliant balance. Avoid all basses that have the old style large plate tuning heads on them - unless you are happy to spend money on fitting Hipshot Ultralites instead. They do make a huge difference for balance and can also lower total weight by as much as 0.5 lb depending on the tuners you are removing. If you find a heavy tuner bass you like where the balance is almost where you want it, then Hipshots will cure it.

You should get your money back from where you bought it from!
