So, in conclusion I also recommend the 500K volume pot upgrade if you want more out of your HC pups. ...]
HI
My NYC JJ5. Also, amazing to say the least

Here's what I (fairly bluntly) suggest...
I know how tempting a bird in the hand is, but at this price/quality level, you should have EXACTLY what you want... EXACTLY. I'd say even tho the black one very well meets your weight needs, and probably sounds amazing, don't get it. Pick whichever you like the best between the white and red one, sell the other, and fund a new one with the finish you want, and spec the weight for Roger. He'll nail it for you, and 5-6 months from now you'll have pure magic in your hands and wonder why the heck you ever even struggled with the issue.
Personally, I think you should hang onto the Red one in the mean time, but who am I to say.![]()

The lightest one I remember was 24-5 coming in @ only 7.00 lbs. Can't seem to find it right now, though.
Great hang today with Jonno at his new office, we had a lot of fun A-B'n my new Sadowsky up against some tough competition.
We pumped the Sadowsky and a couple of A-C's thru a TecAmp Puma 1000 into an Epifani 310 NYC, WoW what a sound. All of these basses sounded great, and each had their own vibe going on, but I have to admit, Jonno's LG was KILLER, it

I believe Andy's got the lightest one.

I got a chance to play it unplugged at a recent gig of his. It's amazing, and sounded huge amplified!
