Are Ken Smith Basses heavy or is it just me?

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, if the bass feels great in my hands, plays and sounds great, and it's a bit on the "heavy side", ask me if I care.

Ditto, Tim!

My Cocobolo beauty is heavier than what I played last, but, it sounds so good that...I don't care!!
