Arrow Here are some hardware weights (bridge, tuners)

Maybe this can be a sticky. To mods to decide...

Just to give an idea to the ones who are planning to replace an existing tuner/bridge or who would build a bass from scratch.

I measured the following items on a high quality kitchen weighing scale (max. 3 kg, with 1 g of increments). So this is not as precise as a jewelery weighing scale but would give an idea.

Bass bridges:
  • Leo Quan BadAss II (4 string) 226 g (including the screws)
  • Leo Quan BadAss II V (5 string) 296 g (including the screws)
  • Schaller Roller Bridge (4 string) 254 g (including the screws)
  • Kahler 2400 Bass Tremolo (4 string) 525 g (including the screws) + 50 g (tremolo bar)

Tuners
  • Sperzel Bass locking tuner 38 g (no screw needed)
  • Sperzel Bass D-thing (detuner) 54 g (everything included)
  • Gotoh Res-o-lite bass tuner 40 g (including the screw)
  • Hipshot HB6C ultralite Clover 1/2" 53 g (including the screw)
  • Hipshot HB8C ultralite Clover 3/8" 56 g (including the screw)
  • Hipshot HE6Y ultralite Y key bass x-tender (detuner) 3/8" 86 g (including the screw)
  • Hipshot HE6C ultralite Clover bass x-tender (detuner) 1/2" 100 g (including the screw)
  • Hipshot GB7 bass x-tender (detuner) 107 g (including the screw)
  • Hipshot BT3 bass x-tender (detuner) 136 g (including the screw)
  • noname Gotoh GB7 style tuner 61 g
  • Fender bass tuner (used on Aerodyne Basses) 98 g
  • Gibson bass tuner (used on explorer) 107 g
