FS/FT: Fender Amer. Spec. P/J "customized"

TRADED!

So I put alot of thought and effort into this 'project'... thought it would be "the bass"- but it just isn't working for me I have a few other P's- so I don't have to 'make it work'... bass plays nicely- just, sadly, doesn't feel right for me! It is set up with a volume and blend pots... just use the blend pot as the 'tone control'...

Heres what she is made of:

Amer. Spec. P bass body (thx SeismicAssault-TB)
Amer. Spec. J neck (The Bay...)
Lindy Fralin P & J(+10%) p/u's (thx Eric Swaim-TB)
Fender Hi-mass bridge
Fender Custom Shop 'plaid' neckplate
CTS 500k volume and blend pots (Stew-Mac)
Switchcraft input jack
Fender (Amer. Std.) Tortoise pg
Allparts Chrome Heavy Knurl Barrel Knobs
Currently strung with brand new LaBella 760QL quarter rounds (.042-.060-.082-.104)

Has a few minor scratches and one very small 'dent'on the front of body and the back of the body could use a buff and polish (has some light marks)... neck is in perfect shape! The pickguard is a bit older and is swirly and scuffed.

Am interested in a 'mint green' or 'vintage cream' Sterling Ray34 Classic Active Electric Bass + a few dollars... or let me know what you have.

Would prefer a 'local trade or sale' (I am near Baltimore, Maryland) but will ship if necessary. Sale price is $725.00 + shipping CONUS.

I am leaving the country from Feb.18-Mar.7... but thought I would post, anyway, see if there is interest!

Heres a post to the original 'project'. American Special P transformation

A few questions, if you don't mind:

How would you describe its native tone? Thick? Dark? Bright? Thumpy? Articulate?

What kind of wood is the body made from?

How much does she weigh?

Gracias!

Don't mind at all!!

I would describe as 'articulate'. I wanted the Fralins for their 'clarity' (have several other Fralin p/u's)... I tend to play a bit hard- and they 'tell all'!

I really don't know the wood type- my luthier thought it is Alder... but doesn't know for sure. (he routed it for the J-p/u)

Weight is... 8.75lbs.
