Thinking I need a somewhat heavy Jazz body, but unsure exactly how heavy it needs to be.... I guess...

Hello everyone! A few years ago, I bought a swamp ash/quilted maple chambered jazz bass body, and without considering balance and weight, I bought an all brazilian ebony neck for it (with steel bars and all the bells and whistles). As the slightly more experienced builders out there understand...

I was thinking along two lines. Either getting something custom made, with a different balance point. Or just increase the weight of the body by a similar percentage, to restore the weight balance at a higher point. And then the bass would *definitely* be a bass for seated playing only. But if...

Thanks for very useful insight! I don't know the exact weight of bass necks, but based on your experience, it will be 40-50% heavier, which is definitely significant. Apparently coupling it with a chambered body was a huge mistake, as it obviously will skew the balance point way towards the...
