In the manner of a few other useful threads listing nut widths, bridge string spacing & the like, I thought a collation of cab & combo weights would be useful for many members, especially us older ones where weight could be a major factor in choice. I decided to restrict the criteria to 110, 210, 112, 212, 310, 410, 115 & 215 cabs/combos but any of the hybrid 12/6/3 etc cabs/combos are also welcome. Under a 110, weight is negligible to most. I'll drop by time to time & sort them into running alphabetical order to make it easier to refer to. Pounds or kilos ok.
To kick off, here are some I already know.

GB Shuttle 3.0 110 combo - 18.5 lbs / cab - 16 lbs
GB Shuttle 6.0/6.2 112 combo - 32 lbs / cab - 27 lbs
GB Shuttle 6.0/6.2 210 combo - 42 lbs / cab - 37 lbs
Line 6 LowDown Studio 110 combo - 24 lbs
Eden Nemesis 210 combo - 45 lbs / cab - 35 lbs
Eden Nemesis 410 combo - 60 lbs / cab - 52 lbs
Eden Nemesis 115 combo - 42 lbs / cab - 32 lbs
Eden Nemesis 212 combo - 56 lbs / cab - 48 lbs

They likely won't be on the websites if the model has been discontinued, the company went belly up or was eaten by a giant & the second response shows that websites aren't always accurate, hence the reason to ask for & get actual users feedback. Plus, rather than trawling through myriad sites, if the info is collated in one spot on TB, what harm done?

"Product specifications may change without notice".

Problem with compiling the specs on every cab, is that a LOT of the info is wrong. 30 pounds this, 1200 watts that. Clamp meter a micro amp with a dummy load on it and see watcha get. Test a calibrated scale against a few different cabs listed weights and you'll see. Sometimes, they just make $%%% up.

BTW, I had an SWR Workingmans 12 that was 55 lbs. I traded it in for an SWR Workingmans 15 that weighed about 74 lbs by my pretty good scale. The official specs were 50 and 70 lbs, respectively. Also, the GB Shuttle 3.0 that heads your list should be labeled as a 110.

The Shuttle "combos" are not really combos, either, as the head is held on to the cab by a metal strap like thingie. The amp is not built-in, which in my humble opinion makes ALL the difference.

Understand ur points about different scales giving different readings, etc n I don't even wanna think about power ratings, wattages, RMS, peak, n all that gaff. Thought this might've been a useful thread/tool but I'll just let it die a natural death, thnx 4 the input anyway.

Brah! I did not mean to be a thread killer. I was just saying that the specs + scales = uncertainty. Don't let it die.....eeek!
