I haven't has this lovely bass long. I decided that I needed a 5 string to deal with the band's regular need to drop key. It was bought locally and this bass is like new as hopefully the photos show.   Weight measured with accurate digital fishing scales is 9.48lb and the bass balances well on a strap and seated.    Strung with a set of D'Addario nickel wound strings that are very fresh.   In a way it's better than new. The action was as good as you'd expect. As is
