I played JTs Conklin Double neck and it was somewhere in the range. I also played a 7 string Conklin that was at least 15-18 lbs. Jimbob Jones 10-24-2007, 10:16 AM I think that's the wieght with the case included, not sure though. tjclem 10-24-2007, 10:55 AM That must be one heavy case! anechoic 10-24-2007, 01:05 PM UPS is probably charging their "oversize" rate, because of the dimensions of the package. If you look at any of the basses on the Rondo site, they have this note: "Note, this item is "UPS oversize" and ships as if it weighs 30 lbs. Actual weight is only 9 lbs" waseok 10-24-2007, 01:57 PM if you are not a bodybuilder do not buy it! Mark Wilson 10-24-2007, 03:57 PM That's got to be wrong. JT's double neck is 24lbs or something. Unless the bass is one piece of Solid Oak, then I doubt it's 30lbs. Greyvagabond 10-24-2007, 03:58 PM Imagine the sustain! enim 10-24-2007, 05:40 PM Imagine the sustain! Nigel: The sustain, listen to it. Marty: I don't hear anything. Nigel: Well you would though, if it were playing. erochelle77 10-24-2007, 06:03 PM It's molded lead painted to look like wood. funkydanbass 10-24-2007, 06:15 PM A little off topic I know, but I gotta put this out there... A guitarist I once played with built all of he's own instruments. He wanted to build a guitar that had the chrome finish appearance, so what does he do... He gets a body cast and cut out of solid steel!!! No S@*! This thing weighed like 50 or 60kg, It was like an inch, maybe an inch and a half thick... He brought it into the studio one and it was 2 or 3 times hotter than any of his other guitars. Very top end heavy, but sounded alright... Unbelievable!!
