A/E bass for practice?
I've been feeling like the weight of my bass is an impedement to picking it up and playing it. It's one of these-- paid $500 back around 2001..
I've been thinking about something like an acoustic for easier practice. I stopped in a store yesterday and tried some junior jumbos (a Guild and a Taylor)- I really liked the Guild, the Taylor not so much. They didn't have any full sized acoustic basses in stock to try, unfortunately. I also picked up every bass in the store, and found one that was very light:
Although I don't think I can justify paying $600+ for something so similar to what I have now.
Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Maybe try a different chair so you can alternate between standing and sitting? Have you ever tried those stands that hold the bass in a playing position for you? I've never tried one, but I'd like to give it a try.
