It’s funny, because my first “real” bass was a cheap Dean Flying V and I swear to god that thing weighed 50 pounds. So I’ve always associated Deans with being made of lead.

Neat! My Dean is a Korean mid 2000s ML. It's far from heavy but I never noticed the weight until I picked it up seconds after putting a Les Paul down.

Maybe they were using lighter woods, a hollower body or maybe basses are just better weapons ;D
