Weight is same as mass, so the base unit of weight is the kilogram. The base unit of volume is cubic meter.

It depends on the application. The base unit for weight in SI is the gram, but the standard for calculations is the kilogram. Both are also used to measure mass.
The liter is the base unit of volume in SI, but the cubic meter is also used in calculations.
In the English system it would be the pound and the gallon.

That depends on where you are and who you are talking to. In Physics we use Meters and Kilograms. In Chemistry Centimeters and Grams. In my backyard we use Pounds and Feet.
The base unit of volume would be whatever the base unit of distance is cubed as in Meters^3, Centimeters^3 or Feet^3

Isn't it grams for weight and meters^3 for volume?
