New member. Thinking about taking the plunge on a S2. Can you provide any history? Thanks.

HI Mica, I just bought this bass on ebay, I won't post another request . I'll look here for it.
Thanks, Olie

Hi Jim; welcome to the board. Good luck on your search for a Series bass.

Hey Jim welcome. I read your post on this bass on the other string. Weight is a concern of mine too but I don't play long sets anymore (church mostly)so I should be alright. I am not sure if they make a 3/4 omega version in a series bass. I have a Mark King in a 3/4 Omega and its very light. SO if they do that may be the direction to go.
I won't get the Series bass until about a week but when I do I'll let you know just how heavy the beast is. (I also have a Mk 5 std omega and it's a monster. I wouldn't want to hold it up for 4 or 5 sets)
