Hey,
Does anybody here know how heavy the new Fender / SKB Cases are? In KGs please. I want to buy one but I wanna go sure that it is lighter then my current case.
Thanks.

BTW: I hate the old style molded hardshell cases. The new SKB style cases are a big improvement IMO. They are more rugged and the case closes properly without having to twist it to get the aluminum edges to line up.

"Hello,
Thanks for writing in. Here are the boxed weights of those cases:
New SKB – 8 pounds
Standard Molded – 15 pounds
I hope this will help you out.
Best Regards,
Jeff Krause"
Isn't that a BIG difference?

Isn't that a BIG difference? | I haven't weighed mine (still), but I believe it - mine seems pretty darned light.

Regarding my problem, they told me that the old case has 15 pounds, and the new one 8... Which seems unreal for me, and that's why I am asking someone here to confirm me the weight of one of these, to see is this is true...
Thanks TalkBass!
