Selling my G&L JB5 with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard, empress body, EMG pickups and 4 band preamp bass treble mid and frequency pot, 34” scale, sounds great. Comes with OHSC, I do not have the stock pickups.
keep in mind the sheer size of a jazz bass body that isn't designed to be slim for weight savings, not matter what it's made of, it'll weigh a bit more than a comparable bass made of the same material. in fact the fact that it' empress is probably why it's not 11.5 lbs
