The German Warwicks are the same unfortunately
Light weight ones? Well, hard to say. Light is good but not always playing a few light ones for a few weeks and grabbed my 12.5lbs Steve Harris modded I just love the feel of it. Call me weird but I don’t mind heavy basses as long as they are balanced.

Same here. I don’t notice the Peavey T-40s weight Vs other basses.
In fact the only time I notice weight as an issue and have to make adjustments is picking up the Hofner, lol.

Strongly prefer light basses. 4kg or under I tend to like much better for overall feel and heft. Too heavy is not my thing.

I should not be allowed out unsupervised!
Went to have a look at the MM Stingray and the guy had this too.
She’s not a collector’s bass by any means and has been well played but she’s what I began my search for, an old Fender Jazz with custom 1978 pickups and a 1979 Badass bridge.
For me it’s in memory of Joe.

The neck, yes. But what of the fingerboard??? (If it is maple, too, then it is dirtier than I imagined 
)

The neck seems to be maple as well. It seems quite old, so the lacquered wood did most probably darken quite a bit.
