 Is the weight of the Bassoon close to that of a Bass Clarinet?

 weight is a non issue.  you support the bassoon on a seat strap or shoulder strap.

 Actually I have been playing my Bass Clarinet without a neck strap for two years. I used to find the neck strap an inconvenience but I`m compensating for that. Is the Bassoon hard to hold without a neck strap while standing up?

 The bassoon certainly can be played standing up. You would have to have a neck strap or harness.
