Lightweight Basses?

Yes, indeed that is the one. I have a fretless BFR that is 7 lbs too. My other specials are a bit heavier though at around 8 lbs to 9 lbs.
Yes, the Club Bass is a small hollow body. I've used one since they were first released and used it with a wide neoprene strap and it balanced well on me. I've never had a problem with it moving around.

Sorry, but I don't own decent recording gear.
Maybe you can satisfy your curiosity here:

Words can't do it justice.I know those and was curious as to your specific bass.
It's a simple J configuration with single coils and V/V/T knobs.
The sound resembles a Jazz in many ways, but I feel that the lower notes on E and B string vibrate more and all strings sound even all over the neck. I will try and find something to record on.
My favorite setting is neck PU full and then just enough bridge PU to get rid of the single coil hiss.
l didn’t like the feel of the body when I played it. It just couldn’t get it in the right location for playing. I play fine with my EB-0, I also do better with 1.5” nut, and a 12” radius fretboard on the EB-0.

On paper my Sadowsky Satin is not the lightest from what I’m seeing here, but it is my lightest.
I have seen some Satins come in at 7.5lbs, but mine I guess is just a bit heavier.
My other axes are both over 9lbs, so this is a feather compared to the others.
Also has a Dtuner on it, so that is a few extra ounces.

Not bad at all for a 5-string MM!Just over 8 1/2 lbs. Not bad for a Stingray5 Special .
Im sure all the glitter accounts for at least 3 lbs.

-Sheeesh, I had a Sterling 4-string short scale MM that weighted a tad over 9 lbs!
(-Notice I said had..?)
