Yes I said 6.5 lbs.!!!!
I got this bass in a trade a while ago & forgot I had it! I just moved & found it

It's a pretty cool bass. Plays and sounds awesome! It has a lightweight core and hardwood top & back. The bridge anchors through the body so both front & back resonate together. It has funky colored lights behind the 2 volume pots if you like that sort of space age thing.

I'm really a classic fender guy, so I can't bring myself to play it in public....I know but it's just not me
The bass is in great shape cosmetically & functionally with the exception of the battery door ears. They broke off & I superglued them back on. It still works, but you can see some of the glue residue. If you don't like it a super duper cool battery box from Best Bass gear is 9 bucks
