8.4lbs for me, which I'm more than happy about! Mine has a bit of neck dive, comes with the territory though. I'm just happy not to have a chunky neck on a 70s, tbh.

Found my white whale last week -- all original (except the brass nut) '75 precision with a jazz style neck, vintage white. I've been looking online to find anything similar to this, but I can't seem to find anything. This was a special request order, one owner, and the owner is from a reputable...
