Here's a spreadsheet I've worked on for about 2 years using info gathered on Talkbass.  There 323 basses in it.

If you want to add your info to the list, please post it here, giving me the following info:

Manufacturer - Year - Model - special features - weight (pounds & ounces; 8 pounds 4 oz would be noted as 8.4)

Example: 

Fender      1963      Precision      Bridge/PU covers      8.3

I'm aware that some of the info is a bit "off", but I'm not an expert on basses.  If someone told me it was an Ernie Ball, that's how it's listed.  If they told me it was a Musicman, that's how it's listed.  People use some of the damndest abbreviations to describe basses, and I don't understand many of them.

There are very few Gibbys, and only one Tbird.  If you want to that info, I'll add it.

I don't think my RD would meet spec... ;D

In Excel, select the column with all the listed bass weights, hit the "sum" button and OILA! you have your RD's weight!
