Nice!...tho I agree with taylor16 that black hardware should be mandatory.
I've been thinking about this type of build for awhile to replace my boat anchor '78 Ray (11.5 lbs...easy!)
What's the weight?

An excuse to post this pic of the daddy of the last two basses

Gard emailed me the wet/dry walnut top for my soon-to-be-built LG 3005. Just thought I'd share this with y'all. I'm over the moon!
Oh, Joe- I mean it. I own a Roscoe fretless CS 3005 that sounds fantastic- I rarely gig with the bass, but the satin tuners and hardware bother me. I will (most likely) spend the $$ to upgrade the hardware so the bass can stay home home in the man-cave for 51 weeks out of the year, yet sport black hardware.
This is one reason I don't give a second look at Pedulla basses - too many guitars with Gold hardware - Yuck!
Sorry, but I speak from the heart, or butt!

Sheesh, tough crowd.
I WANTED the chrome, because I like how it looked on this bass.
Y'all get what you want on your'n. I think the chrome WORKS on this one.
...oh, and it SOUNDS fantastic, just got home from rehearsal with it.

Jim, despite your inability to see the beauty ( :scowl: ) in my chrome hardware, I will still answer your question:
I did not put this on a scale (because we don't really have one!), but it's LIGHT as a feather, about 8-8.5 lbs at a guess, and balances perfectly.
...I am gonna post some pics of my new baby!!

I can't believe I've never posted this here. This is my "baby". I bought her as a retirement present to myself when I retired from law enforcement. She's gigged most weekends, and never fails to amaze.
SKB3005, ash body, myrtle top, purpleheart board, barts with the aguilar preamp.
I'm REALLY jonesin for another Roscoe (j pickups for sure), but that's not likely anytime soon!
