I like the idea of the Parker's versatility and light weight. I don't mind the body shape, but I just really can't get along with the headstock. OMG, I think it's ugly!

I've owned a few Parkers. I know the standard neck-through models could dip into the sub-5 lbs range, but I'm highly surprised that a Nitefly/Midifly could come in that low, especially with the Midi add-ons! I think the typical weight for almost all of the bolt-on neck models was right around 7 lbs or so. That's quite a difference!

Fretboard stickers ftw. I've had the Jockomo ones on one of my basses for 5 years now, no issues. Just clean the fretboard well and let it dry for a day before applying and then press down the edges very thoroughly.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnyone who *sings* at me through their teeth deserves to have a bus drive through their face

I'd love an original Fly model. A friend of mine worked for Parker, and helped design and build the early models. They go for serious $$ these days. Having a lighter instrument is almost a necessity for me these days, as I can't put really any weight on my left shoulder due to a car accident (long story) last year. So standing up and playing is off the table until it heals.Administrator of the SDUGF
