Nothing serious, you get a little when sitting without a strap. Its fine on even the cheapest strap. I went to a guitar shop a few weeks ago and tried a few different basses. The balance on the knee is comparable to a Fender player precision that I tried. Incidentally, I tried a sandberg electra vs4 and although sounding immense, the neck dive on my knee was too much and I could hardly play. I hope this was a one off - beautiful bass otherwise.

These are fantastic mics! Super transparent and very discrete to place. Not in the market for microphones right now though. Glwts.

Hmm, looking in to the signature thing, maybe I was too hasty with the price drop... This is the original press release from no treble (mine doesn't have a gig bag) : https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/01/25/marcus-miller-teams-with-sire-guitars-for-new-signature-basses/

If I remember correctly, the first 1000 of them were signed by MM as a way to drum up interest at launch (this is number 913). I bought this second hand in 2015 not long after the launch so would assume its legit but have no way to verify this. Its never been a big concern of mine as its a fantastic bass at a superb price no matter who has written on it. Don't know if any other BCers have info on the signature? I had a squier 60s cv jazz before this, and ultimately got rid of the squier. I thought the sire plays and sounds better. Will look into postage and DM you. I would imagine it's cheaper than driving to Glasgow (and I'm sure scot gov will ban us all from travelling by the end of the week).
