Weight of ebony neck lams

[Bradley Young]

I am not a number.

Paul, I stand corrected, you are right sir. I should have remembered but it's not easy to remember such things suffering form a sore brain. LOL
(I wonder if DR Hfuhruhurr will lend me one of his.)

We want information. Information! INFORMATION!
 
 
be seeing you.

You are number 6.

Here's my 2 cents,
 
Epistemology of this discussion reveals the following to me-
 
If 1 ebony neck lam equaled a pound then 3 would equal approximately 3 pounds in a neck with 3 ebony lams. Therefore-
 
In the average bass this would mean that the leftover 7-9 pounds would have to be derived from the remaining neck lams, the metal tuning keys, the brass nut, the brass bridge and bridge block, the fret board, the frets, all of the metal and plastic electronics and batteries, the brass tailpiece, all of the body wood lams, the truss rods, strings, knobs, input jacks, poly finish, strap locks, magnetic pickups, leds and wiring, silver logo, pearls, abalones, glue, screws, etc.
 
Sooooo, I don't know about you guys but common sense seems to coincide with Bobs calculations.
 
Good job Bob, Mark, and friends!  
 
Aloha Family!!!

That's close, but the conclusion was that 3 lams adds up to only a pound or a little more - not 3 pounds. So the rest of the stuff is  heavier.

[mele_aloha]

Yes, I am agreeing with you Bob. My point is that of yours. It would seem hard to believe that all of the rest of the items would only equal 7-9 pounds. Therefore it is highly unlikely that each lam could weigh a pound.
 
Thanks, Paul

What good job?  I goofed!  Actually, I made one of the most common mistakes people make -coveying the sense that what is in fact a belief (and apparently a mistaken one) was something more!
 
And I'm sorry again if my error caused you to panic with your custom order, Paul.
 
On an upside, it does seem to have contributed to an interesting -or at least worthwhile- thread!

[inthelows]

If anything Mark, Bob got to do some fine math. Some of us learned a little more. We know the Prisoner is number six. Bill likes really big weather balloons. Mele aloha concurs with Bob. Bumbucker wants information and Olies head 'urts!
Lets not forget a hearty dialog about lams.
The rest of us eagerly await the next trinket.
 Not bad for an error indeed! Thank you.

Ahh yes, but is a pint of stout heavier than a pint of lager?

[cozmik_cowboy]

Depends on the stout & the lager.  The Beer Judge Certification Program recognizes 17 styles of lager, from Lite American Lager (cringe), which has a finished specific gravity (FG) between 0.998-1.008, to Eisbock, at 1.020-1.035+ FG. Outside of fake beer & the Bock family , however, lager FG averages about 1.010.  The Stout family, which are ales, has 6 styles, from Dry Stout at 1.007-1.011 to Imperial Stout at 1.018-1.030+ (of the other four, 2 come in at 1.010-1.018, 1 at 1.010-1.022, and 1 at 1.010-1.023). Thus, while some lagers are signifcantly heavier than some stouts, for the most part a stout will probably be a tad heavier.  Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need to go lift some weights.

But what about a motorcycle with ebony laminates?  Is that heavier?
