Still nice though. And a reasonable price considering the rarity and condition.[/quote]

I'm surprised to hear that BRX. My Marathon was without doubt the lightest bass I've ever own, and by some distance. It was also extremely punchy and had a tone not dissimilar to that of a very good Precision. I would guess that every Genesis tribute band in the UK will be queuing up for that double neck; it's horrible yet lovely at the same time.

There's a similar one - maybe the same - on the Shergold Forum site for £975.
I've had a lot of Shergold basses and Haymans the bodies look big and chunky but contrary to expectation they have always been lighter than any Fender I've played.

It's a while since I last played one, but I can remember trying a 6-string bass that was massively heavy considering it's size.

Mind you my bass of choice at the time was a Burns Sonic...

+1. And, of course, you'd want one that splits apart:

Well I expected it to make me groan when I lifted it, but I don't think it was much heavier than one of my Stingrays. Can't be more specific than that I'm afraid.
