I recently acquired a 1997 German Masterman 5. What an awesome sounding bass.... but it weights a ton! Is that the general thing with the Fortress Mastermans? The body must be a serious slab of timber!

We don't usually hear complaints about Fortress basses, perhaps even when they are heavier it's not that much of a problem because they balance in a more traditional way. Most heavy Warwicks come from a combination of heavy body woods and thick necks. Come to think of it, your neck should be quite a handful and also for the Fortress specifically, it is wider at the nut. Did you know/notice that?
