Chambered bass body weight?

[PFDarkside]

What is the typical weight of a chambered P-Bass or Jazz Bass replacement body?

I haven't owned any warmoth chambered bass bodies but I have owned a bunch of chambered guitar bodies. Some woods will be naturally heavier than others, for example poplar is normally heavier than alder. The wood data base this kind of info. https://www.wood-database.com/ Then after you find out the specific species you like, just know that some pieces will be heavier than others even from the same tree. For guitar bodies you knock off 25% for chambering from the original piece.

I guess the same "wood" apply to bass bodies, it will certainly weigh less than original un-chambered pieces. More than that I don't know.

I regret not paying attention when there were some in the showcase.

From what I've seen the past year or two in featured page and deals, yer probably looking at a range of 3 to 6 pounds... Big variety of weights out there, even across the same wood species ...
