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" |

JT's double neck is 24lbs or something.
Unless the bass is one piece of Solid Oak, then I doubt it's 30lbs. |

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!! |

His other guitars weighed 20-30kg? As in, 45-65 pounds?
