I have always fancied one of those but have always been put off by the weight of them, I saw a magazine article last year where a guy owned one that weighed in at 23 lbs!!! prey tell how much does your weigh?
[/quote] wowsa, 23lbs ? Scary! I wonder if that was the Ibanez Studio? I had one of those briefly and that was 14lbs...they were great basses too but essentially built for the studio only, hence the name and weight - fantastic tone though. Mine is 11lbs, a little lighter than my 74 jazz but heavier than my 10.2lb Limelight. The Ibanez musician I have balances nicely though and the tone is to die for...definitely my favourite bass I've ever owned and super condition for 1979, highly reccomend trying one out... They're funky little mofo's that Markbass 4x6 is surprisingly good too, gigged it on its own with a 7 piece soul band with the worlds loudest trumpet player, the Markbass cut through with ease
