dezb1 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Greetings New to the forum and to playing bass (been a guitarist for many many years), so this is my first post. Wish I'd taken up the bass years ago as I'm loving it. My newish HB Jazz bass: Been going badada badada like a fury And with bass being my new obsession I've used 4 €10 vouchers Thomann gave me for reviewing stuff and now have a PB-20 on the way for the princely sum of €58 delivered to my door... Steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Two excellent choices there dezb1. The fact that I happen to have those basses has no effect on saying you have excellent taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that I happen to have those basses has no effect on saying you have excellent taste [/quote] Just got tracking info for my new PB-20 6.22kg that's nearly a stone in old money... Is that an average weight for a bass? the JB-75 was 5kg, for some reason I thought the P bass would be lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the P will be about the same weight as the J. 5kg is maybe a touch above average? It's not unusual.

kodiakblair Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Weighed mine 9lbs. When it shipped with the Behringer BDI21 parcel was 4Kg according to tracking. Last order said 7Kg, Bass Uke is 1Kg and V-amp Pro is 2.5 Kg. No way a travel plug weighs 3.5Kg. As alyctes says it's including the double box packing.

sprocketflup Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Though some of those HB's can be on the weighty side...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The packaging weights , like the delivery times, are a work of fiction in my experience. It's the price you pay, for the price you pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the P will be about the same weight as the J. 5kg is maybe a touch above average? It's not unusual. [/quote] In that case the J bass was 5kg including the packing... As said above double boxed + bubble wrap. Just need to man up as I'm a bass player now not some lightweight guitarist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezb1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 My new P bass on the bench awaiting it's setup, got a new black/red tort guard on order to get that Geezer Butler vibe... [IMG]http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/138/WP_20150225_16_02_05_Pro.jpg[/IMG] Don't know where they got the 6.22kg packaging weight from was nowhere near that heavy, and the bass is substantially lighter than my JB-75...
