[/quote] The Marathon itself is light - but the case, if I remember mine, is remarkably bloody heavy! Notwithstanding that, I'd buy it like a shot - if only I had the spare cash. Marvellous instruments. But the six-stringer is a worthy swap - I still regret selling mine, but needs required.

[/quote] Yes the case is heavy but it's original to the bass so I'd like them to go together, you can always use a gig bag if you didn't want to suffer the back strain! The bass itself is very light but balances well, anyone who plays Shergolds will know how low the action can go on these basses, very easy to play.
