The early to mid Ibaneezes are known to be quite 'solid'.

They're a good 10 lb's - I just sold mine yesterday funnily enough.

cheers ,so it should be lighter than my aria sb 1000 which comes in at around 5.5 kilos ?

[chaypup]

By ' a good 10lbs' I meant 'at least'

I have since found [url="http://www.grouseguitars.com/sold/ibanezlhroadster.htm"]this[/url] Which says they're 5kg (11lbs) exactly.

I recently sold one too, it's heavy and it feels it!

Just weighed my 1981 Roadster - it's 9lbs so they obviously vary. It's always felt much lighter than my 1979 Musician which is 10.5 lbs. Never weighed them until today though.

Cheers guys ,very helpful

The chap thats selling it thinks its about 7kgs , so may have to give it a miss with my back problems, shame as its a nice bass!

Its never going to be 15lb +

[chaypup]

No way is it 7Kg - it's heavy but not THAT heavy.

Where is he based? Maybe someone can take round some scales and do an independant weigh in for you.

[gub]

i did think that was crazy heavy ! he doesnt have scales in the house so cant weigh it properly for me . and it ends tonight on the bay!

If weighing basses is an issue for you (as it definitely is for me) then there is no substitute ...
