Show me some light basses!

[GobBass]

I don't mean stick-thin models. ..i mean basses with a bit of substance without having breaking your leg should it tragically detach itself from its strap..

Show,Show,Show!

OK; both these come in at about 7.5lbs of killer tone...

these guys are about 8lbs:

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

You won't really be able to tell how light a bass is by a picture though, eh? So I'll tell you that these two weigh 4 lbs each. Seriously though, they're both around 8lbs. The fretless may be under. Very light considering they're singlecut 35" five-strings.

Not sure what it weighs but it's the second lightest bass I own.

This would be the lightest Bass I own. An 85 Ibanez Axstar.

 

[spade2you]

~7.5lbs and ~5.5lbs respectively. Plenty of killer tone, minimal weight.

My USA Peavey Cirrus and Millennium basses are probably no more than 8-8.5lbs, but I'm entirely too lazy to weigh them. All my stuff is fairly light.

 

[BartmanPDX]

Just over 7 lbs. -- currently my #1 following a back surgery. It will be a while before my 11 lb. Sadowsky UV70-5 string gets much playing time.

about 8lbs. each. Reverend basses are nice and light.

My Steinberger "boat paddle" looks like it should be really light, but it actually weighs 9 lbs. or so. I'm always surprised at how dense the composite material it was made out of is.

BTW, I love that '85 Axstar that FL Knifemaker has. Thumbs up!!

Vigier Excess basses. They weigh in at 3kgs or about 6.5 lbs

The RIC weighs about 9+ lbs. Heavy.

 

[Debased]

It's light for a six-string - a little over 7 1/2 pounds - but it sings like a baritone angel.

 

[CTbass&birdsong]

Birdsong Sadhana#13(Bermuda Debby)

Weighs 6 lbs. 14 oz....

 

[MammaryVest]

A bass teacher that I had has this MTD 535 that threw me off so bad the first time I held it. I don't know what kind of wood it was, but it was a fairly large 5 string that was SUPER light.

 

[spade2you]

It's light for a six-string - a little over 7 1/2 pounds - but it sings like a baritone angel.

Yummy!

8 lbs 3 oz.

7 lbs. 8 oz

Considering both are walnut and the first one has stripes of ebony and purpleheart, not too shabby.
