Just weighed my Harley Benton JB40FL. 10.6 lbs!! Now I may have set up the weigher thing wrong but if not... Great bass, good sound, amazing value - and virtually unusable for a crumbly like me cos of weight.

What wood is it? If it's Ash then it probably is super heavy.
There's a worldwide shortage of Swamp Ash (although that's not a species - it's just ash that grows in a damp environment - therefore dries lighter). So cheaper instruments will use heavy-donkey pieces of ash!
For our SWBs - we have had to cap and chamber them to reduce weight because of this.
