Ed,
I love the Triple Omega design, but then I like items that are out of the ordinary and unique. The only major drawback is that it is VERY uncomfortable to play sitting down. I have rolled a bath towel to insert into the lower 'omega', and this has worked, but this guitar should be played standing up. Mine weighs about 11.5 pounds and is just the smallest bit neck heavy, but not enough to cause any concerns or change in playing style. I have always preferred basses to have a bit of substance to them, so I don't mind the weight. I have the Anniversary electronics, as this one does, and get some great sounds out of this package. In my opinion, if the bass is indeed mint, and you like the TO design, you will love this guitar.
Hope this helps...
Chris
