Do the necks of bass guitars generally fall down if you let go of them?
Greg G asked:
If I just let go of the neck on my bass guitar while standing, the neck will tip down almost to the floor. Is this normal? Or is it just my bass which is very neck-heavy I suppose?

Sounds like “neck dive”. Yes, this is fairly common in neck-heavy basses, like Thunderbirds. It isn’t really a good thing, but if it doesn’t bother you, don’t worry about it =P
