Hey gang

Thanks....

Looks like 34lbs http://www.fender.com/products/searc...tno=2245700000

The TB600 looks to be 32lbs - If you want something lighter and sounds similar or better, there are many choices out there.

Rock on!

Thanks Gearhead. I've heard that the website is not accurate. I'm hoping someone who has one will chime in with the actual weight.

As far as lighter amps, Ive owned about everything out there with the exception on the Fender so I figured what the heck, let's try one.

Guitar Center says both heads are 48lbs - strange.

They say the TB1200 is 45lbs http://www.bassguitarmagazine.com/in...-1200-issue-42

If you are looking for something lighter, let us know. It's the same weight as your 4 PRO.

TB600/TB1200 manual lists 32lb (TB600) and 34lb (TB1200).....
Sounds believable, but would be nice to confirm something....

My TB-600 in a two space Gator rack bag weighs 36 pounds, so 32 pounds for the head itself sounds about right. I'd say the FMIC website/manual has the straight dope.
