There's really no need to guess, or to mess around on the bathroom scales.

Just weigh the damned thing properly.

The collapsible sack barrows from Lidl are really cheap (<£15), really light, and perfectly adequate for most rigs. I used to use mine to move around a pair of Eden D210XLT's, total weight = 138lbs.

They tend to go very quickly when a store gets them in, so you need to keep an eye out.

I have one of these to move my combo. Takes up to 70 kgs.

I've had similar things, and find they do more damage to my back! The handle on this one is 99cm at full extension. I'm 5'11 - not the tallest of men - and I find that this is simply not long enough. To pull this, I'd need to crouch a little, or lean over a bit, which leads to painful strains on my back muscles.

If you want to weigh a bass, how about scales for fishing?? I would think it would be very easy just to put the hook around the stem of one of the machine heads, and lift :)

Have to admit, it's nice having a few lighter basses about. Playing the Rickenbacker for three hours straight in rehearsal does make my lower back ache :rolleyes:

I know guys using trolleys from B&Q, Homebase and, because we are close to the Thames, a local ship's chandler.
