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!

Good question, I believe the inventory I referred to is US made.
The G&L JB I held (and played a little but not connected to an amp) was a Tribute model made in Indonesia. I noticed no significant difference in weight between it and my VM 70’s Squier.
