4000 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I played one once. It was probably the heaviest bass I’ve ever played, so much so that I didn’t dare actually put it on (knackered back). It felt about half as heavy again as my Wal Pro, which I sold due to the weight! Quote

4000 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 3600 pounds is roughly the weight of the one I played. 😉 2 Quote

A couple of gratuitous pics of mine: ser. no. in the low 20's so it's an early one..... 3 Quote
4000 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 There was a time when heavy basses didn’t bother me; then several intervertebral discs went in quick succession. Life-changing. And certainly bass-changing! 1 Quote
4000 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) My back has been that way since ‘96, unfortunately. Incidentally, every TB I’ve heard I’ve thought sounded really good, in context. Edited January 10, 2021 by 4000 2 Quote
