Lightweight 5er, w/18+mm spacing

[kucor]

Hi TB, I'm in search of an affordable lightweight (under 8,5lb) 5 stringer for giging, as my back can not hold my heavy Ibanez btb any more.

I have Nordstrand pups and East J retro and U retro preamps, so electronics isn't issue, but all lightweight basses have narrow string spacing (Ibanez SR, Cort A5/B5, Peavey, etc...)

I need something with at least 18mm, 19mm would be great.

price tag: under $800

any recommendation?

thanks!

I've seen some pretty lightweight Fender Precision Vs.

The ibanez basses I've played we're great! Good tone and pretty light

My Carvin BB75 (alder) is very light though I haven't put it on a scale, it has 19mm spacing. Got mine used for about $400. They seem to have picked up in value over the last few years but still well in your budget if you go used.
