Rapewta is right. Weight makes a real difference. Basses are big, and heavy. I'd agree that Fender basses are kinda goofy looking, but i just had to try a Jazz. I still love it, and there is a tone thing they just seem to sometimes have. A funky, colorful tone. And then there is that growl thing they do. But it feels like I'm wearing a boat anchor.

I like my new Ibanez. It feels very comfortable. The neck. Historically, I've been more of a Gibson-type-bass man and this Ibanez feels like home. And it's noticeably lighter.

That's a beautiful thing you've got there, that Schecter. One of the monster bass players in our area, Lynn Sorenson, showed me his all time favorite bass. It is a Schecter.
