How heavy are these basses? Does weight matter? How heavy is too heavy? Sire MC924 LB75 L2000 RB760

Can you guess which of these 6 basses are the heaviest or the lightest? What's the average weight of a bass guitar? How much weight is too much? Does weight affect sustain or tone? We examine the weight of 6 basses including a Sire Marcus Miller V7, Ibanez Musician MC924, Ibanez Roadstar 2 RB760. Epiphone EB-0 short scale, Carvin LB75 5 string and a G&L Tribute L-2000.
I'm trying some new things with the video, audio and lighting. I feel like things are better but this time I was looking at a confidence monitor to get the basses in the shot and never looked at the camera once :( One day I'll learn...

Such an important topic. My Cort 4 string and my Ibanez 5 both weigh 7.8lbs.
Tone comes from pickups and strings... Sustain is from how well built the bass is, and how well resonance is transferred or maintained. As soon as you play in a band or on a multi instrument music track so called tone wood is indistinguishable from plastic, aluminum ,carbon fiber, or pine. And if you really want a tone change, play through a different speaker or cab.
8.5 lbs with no neck dive is the perfect weight. Sadowsky basses are known to have that weight and they sound great.
Heavier basses have more bottom end, sustain and less extreme dead spots. More heavy basses are great.
How guitar companies make any of these thick heavy bodies is beyond me.... Some are thin and feel great while others are bricks....
To save weight I take off my strings.

Everyone knows a heavy bass has more TOAN!
The lighter the better.....Sandberg is outstanding basses.
I look tiny holding a bass and its really heavy
All your basses are light weight compared to my Artist Vintage Hybrid Natural 5 String weighing in at a massive 11.9 lbs!!!!
