Which is heavier? G&L JB vs squier vintage modified

I just looked at the G&L inventory page and weights of specific JB’s in inventory varied from 9.25 to 10 pounds. 5 string JB’s 9.45 to 10.2 pounds. I owned a Squier VM Jazz and really liked it. Traded it for a G&L M2500. Although I have not put any bass on a scale, I have held a G&L JB and felt the weight was similar to the Squier VM Jazz. In my opinion neither is too heavy. I also believe you can’t loose with either choice. Enjoy the one you bring home!

By the way.. The G&L JB which I'm planning to buy is an Indonesia made... Will there be change in size or weight... Any idea about it?
