Anyone own a Fender Bass VI or Squire Classic Vibe Bass VI? If yes, would you mind weighing it and letting me know how much it weighs? I'm thinking about buying one but the stores I've contacted only know the average shipping weight and not the average weight of the bass. I got a herniated disc in my neck in 2019, so since then I can only play guitars and basses under 7lbs or else the guitar strap irritates my neck and pinches a nerve which causes my left arm to go numb.
I just recently found out about the Bass VI when watching The Beatles documentary on Disney+. I've always played bass with my fingers because my picking hand is so used to guitar string spacing, I always miss strings when trying to play bass with a pick. The Bass VI seems like a cool concept because it's like a baritone guitar with a 30" neck and guitar string spacing but tuned down an octave like a bass, so I'd be able to play it with a pick. I can't really play a regular bass with a 34" neck since getting the herniated disc in my neck and I hate programming bass because it's too time consuming to make it sound real.
