So, long ago I mentioned how my cherry red JS-II was annoyingly head-heavy on the strap. A couple of posters commented that they had never noticed that.
Now with two in house, it's interesting. My new black Alembized beast is noticeably heavier when you pick it up. (I THINK it is a 72 vs a later 74 or something on the red one.)
This morning I did a quick bathroom scale measurement and found the black one is about a pound heaver.
The bodies must have been made with different woods? Weren't there two versions?
Meanwhile, I have a bass jealousy problem on my hands. The QSC or whatever it is pre-amp set in the red JS-II is acting up now that his/her Alembicized cousin is in the same room. One pickup cuts in or out depending upon the orientation of the bass. (It's happy upside down)
I'm pretty sure it's the fault of the rush to "no solder" rigs. I had a similar prob with it once before.
I'm almost tempted to yank it out and replace it. But not quite yet.
