Nice one, thanks @Pea Turgh.
Is it worth the gamble (& expense) of making it slightly lighter & improving its looks? Probably not. Will I have a go anyway? Quite possibly. Am I capable? No chance.
I assume the main reason why it’s so heavy is the body?
I really fancy respraying the body with nitro paint as I like how the bass feels and sounds, but wonder if it’s worth buying an eBay JB body and using that instead, based on the heft of the HB.
I really don’t need this - or to be £500 lighter - but… what a deal. I’ve never even played anything nicer/more expensive than a mim fender. I’m definitely not a good enough bass player to warrant it. But so tempting.
You’ll surely get a quick sale at this price.
