The Frontman 25R is 11.5 kg (25 pounds) and has no tubes, only a solid state amp.
I was told that in electronics the heavier (for its size) the better.

Seems a bit odd?? Maybe the Australian amps have been eating too many "barbies" at the beach or there's some rogue ones in the factory? :icon_whoknows:

sweetwater.com, zzsounds.com, guitarbitz.com, gear4music.com, music123.com .... all 24lbs / 10.9kg, Though soundsliveshop.com has an elephantine 15kg?

Though I see some places have my VibroChamp XD at 23.4 lbs and some at that same 24lbs that most have for the SuperChamp XD. Must weigh my VCXD in the morning - it doesn't feel like it's put on weight but you never know. My G-Dec at 27.2lbs / 12 4kg seems enough additional weight for my old muscles - 15kg is getting serious weight. :sad:

Well well, I forgot to mention the weight I got was including the packaging material, what was I thinking :think: :amp:
Omvang: 1 pakket(ten)
Gewicht: 15440 g = 15.44 Kg
Delivery today :dance: :banana: :drool: :wink:

According to Fender :
DIMENSIONS HEIGHT: 15 in (38 cm)
WIDTH: 17.5 in (45 cm)
DEPTH: 9.0 in (22.9 cm)
WEIGHT: 24 lb (10.9 kg)

The sender has packed this one bomb and fool proof it seems. :thumbsup:

I sold the Champ 25 a couple of weeks ago and now it's replacement is on its way, Cybie's little brother :chicken:

Ah .... all becomes clear - VB has seen the light!

I'm reckoning this is a delivery to look forward too. Consensus seems to be the SuperChamp XD has the edge over the VibroChamp XD so on the basis of how much I like the VibroChamp and it's sounds you should get a real kick out of this new baby. Be like a pig in .... ermmmm .... clover. :wink:

Look forward to hearing how it goes - good luck! :thumbsup:

:mercy: I know that too well - many navigation systems simply do not contain my address (I live in the "Outback") :eye_rub: , so the package returns to sender.
Anyway - congrats, looks good! :thumbsup:

Do you plan to use it to your band rehearsals due to light weight ?
