Hi,
I own an EBMM Caprice which weights 3.86 kilos and a Fender Am. Pro P which weights around 3.90 kilos. Both are very light and comfortable to play, especially the Caprice which is my #1 bass.
After a little bit of research I was able to get some precise infos about both the SR Special and SR Classic exact weight.
The Special weights 4.22 kilos (I've found 3.86 kilos on a couple of websites but I guess it's wrong? ), while the Classic weights 4.65 kilos.
Since I tend to prefer the Classic's features but I don't have any of them to make a weight comparison, I ask you if the difference in weight is noticeable when playing standing up. last time I played both a Special and a Classic at the shop I wasn't standing up for the most part, I was just testing the EQ and general features of the basses. I recently came back to the same shop to do some tests but one of them was sold, unfortunately. I remember that the difference in weight wasn't huge, but one thing is to play standing up for half an hour, another thing is to gig for two hours.
When switching from my Caprice to my P I have no problems, but like I said both are almost identical in weight and super lightweight.
Thanks!
