fleabag Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 How on earth did this get to weigh 14 Lbs ? Solid lead body with sneaky maple vinyl wrap https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOSES-Fretless-Bass-with-Graphite-Neck-4-Piezo-Pickup-system/273179039923?hash=item3f9abd58b3:g:EekAAOSwWiNanxKU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 14lbs with a Graphite neck? What if it was wood? Shipping from New Joysee, USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibody Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Had a Squier VM 70's Jazz with a maple body. It was bloody heavy - maybe not 14lbs heavy but it was a back breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 So the bulk of the weight is down to the solid maple body ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maples a fairly dense wood (Guess thats why they use it for necks). The weight of thge thing was the only reason I parted company with that VM Jazz.

It has a solid brass bridge that weighs 1kg itself. The whole bass weighs weighs less than 4.6kg so im at a complete loss as to how this thing weighs anything approaching 14lbs...

Are those chambered? Friend has a nice Warwick proto type and that is semi hollow? That 4.6 kg is a solid 10lbs so 14lbs isnt too outrageous even if its a larger body (the Jazz's are quite sizeable, think mine was 12lb from memory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find it a real stretch for that 14lbs as mine is a large 5 string body and neck with the 20mm spacing and all the solid brass hardware etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
