According to amazon, the squier version of this has a shipping weight including packaging of 25lbs, which probably sounds about right, I would have said about the 9-10kg at a guess.... She is Definately no middleweight but surprisingly it doesn't really bother me too much, I mean it is a heavy bass, but I've used it solid for 3 hour rehearsal without any issues, I only use a standard fender strap too, if you invested in a quality leather strap you would be sweet.
