Squier Paranormal Rascal bass - are they all heavy?

Not a problem.

Our bridge features heavy duty saddles in combination with a massive base plate. This substantial mass of metal enhances clarity and attack, and produces bell-like sustain. It's also a versatile bridge, that can be strung string-thru-body or top-load.

🤔 I was referring the Dub King semi hollow, but the photo you've posted looks a cool guitar too. I've learned quite a bit about the Dub King since my last post, I like the pickup positions looks like I could get some phat dub/reggae out of that beast. It'll go on my wish list but i'll have to see if I can get one used here in UKas the prices are in parity ($1299) and (£1299) new and that's a bit too much out of my league.
 
I'm interested in getting a Squier Paranormal Rascal bass, but I'm not interested in playing a 10 pound short-sale bass. Those of you who own or have owned these what did yours weigh?

Thanks!
I have not weighed mine yet, but it's no doubt 9-10 lbs. One thing to note is that the pickups in the bass are heavy, which immediately becomes apparent when you upgrade the pickguard. ;)
