NBD Sadowsky J/J

Got a question about your new bass.
How is the balance? Any neck dive at all?

I'm only asking because eventually I will buy a US made jazz style bass and those Sadowsky's look so nice.

In a video I watched, Roger was talking about weight and balance. he will only make the body so light because of the potential for neck dive. The bass balances just right and is probably at the point where any lighter and it would neck dive. I think the spec had it at just under 8lbs.
