Lightbulb Heavy?

The average Smith Bass is 9-10lbs. This is a 5-string Bass. 4s are less and 6s are more. I have seen 4-string Jazz basses in Baseball Bat Ash weighing over 12lbs. Now, That is what I call heavy. The exotic woods also can add weight so don't blame me, blame yourself for ordering it with Ebony, Bubinga and Cocobolo Tops!

How about those companies using solid Bubinga for a Body? That not only weighs half a ton, it kills the tone as well.
