That’s why he has a triple padded strap with a sleeve! I wish these were available!

Y’all can keep that heavy-ass shit! 
I’m perfectly happy at 8.5 lbs, or less.

Oh man, I love them all, 
Not gonna lie, I wish my Fuego is a pound heavier at least. It sits at about 7.5 lbs right now. The modern StingRay is about 9lbs I think it’s about perfect weight for StingRay but I don’t mind heavier ones like my Sabre Bass is 10.5 lbs but it’s rock solid.

No smoking?
If it’s just the surface, maybe try some Novus 2 polish on the back?

Most of mine are right around the 8 to 9 pound range! I have a blue and white Eastwood that is less than 7 or right around 7 lbs!

All my basses are right at about 8.5lbs: my two Mayones, three Sires, my Sterling shorty, and my one EBMM Cutlass.

Except when the previous owner put some stickers on it. It drives me crazy (though its “just” a guitar)!!!

That’s just begging for a custom Iron Maiden Eddie paintjob!

You could probably knock something up similar yourself. It’s a West Ham scarf around his strap.
I’ve just done a bit of digging. The sleeve is custom, knitted by his bass tech’s mum, in the colours of Steve’s beloved West Ham.
