By default, all our bodies are made from alder (alnus), the undisputed #1 in bass solidbodies. Read here why we use alder. Our basses weigh a moderate 3,9 kg on average. However, if weight is an issue for you, we’re happy to go lower. A basswood (tilia) body will reduce the weight by 500 grams on average, a composite body from paulownia (paulownia) and alder by 700 grams and a paulownia body by 900 grams. Note that wood weights can never be specified exactly, as two bodies of identical shapes will always have indivdidual grain structures and weights.
