The Skunk2 one is about 15.5 Ounces.

I really liked it. But like Widebody, I like to change knobs.

So do I, but virtually every place that I've contacted is backordered on them indefinitely. I even contacted Skunk2 and they said that they couldn't keep up with demand. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait:sad:

eBay had an abundance.

For some reason there's a shortage all of a sudden.
