Wow! I bet it sounds as sexy as the year.

How's the weight on this beauty?

So that's how you lost the junior. Nice, they're great guitars. Does it have the see through bobbin P90's?

Many, many pounds/KGs. I don't have scales at home, but it's a beast.

This is indeed how I lost the Junior, straight swap. It's more like Grandad's axe, not a lot of original bits on it. It had some high gain Seymour Duncan p90s in there when I got it, but I've swapped them out for some Antiquities when I did a rewire on it. Whilst it's a bit of a mongrel, I love it, and despite the weight will happily play it for a 4 hour gig.

Its always amazing when guitarists whinge about weight when bass players are just expected to do it

That surprises me. Bet it's not that heavy compared to some.

Anyway, here's mine. Just the R7 on the right. Not too heavy at all.

True - ours put on 14 kilos over Xmas and didn’t grizzle one bit.
