Just a shade over 7lb

Bought on here a few months ago and an absolutely beautiful bass. I'll paste the description from the previous seller below because it's perfect:

It doesn't say California on the headstock instead it says "Custom Shop Instrument". From enquiries I made to Sandberg I believe this was a special bass built before Sandberg officially started making the California series. (Made around 2004-6 (I believe). 
I bought this on here in 2010 and have used it regularly since. It has a very reasonable weight of 9lbs 2oz and has terrific balance. When I originally bought this I really wanted a passive VS4 and I recently  bought one so I'm not really using this to it's full potential. A new model VM4 in this spec would cost around £1500.

I upgraded the old active circuit with a brand new Sandberg preamp as the old one did not have a passive treble control and I also upgraded to the newest style Sandberg bridge and string tree.
The finish is a really nice soft-aged white/cream. I don't think I added any further dings!

This bass now has a Sandberg P style rather than the original Delano as I tried a more recent VM4 and realised why Sandberg modified the design fairly quickly. I find the Sandberg P is less nasal sounding in the "reverse P" position. I kept the original Delano MM on as it sounds great. The aforementioned preamp is Sandberg's own 2-band with active/passive push/pull volume knob (made by Glockenklang for Sandberg)

The neck is 39mm at the zero fret, so a little wider than a Jazz but narrower than a typical Precision and has a fairly slim feel and plays very well. I believe that the body wood is Alder.

Selling due to the realisation that I just prefer passive basses. Too many options confuse my feeble mind!!!

Not in any rush on this and I'm definitely open to trades. I like roadworn and the 'lived life' look. Fender P's, Maruszczyk Jake, T Birds, Cataldos and Rics..(If i'm allowed to mention them here? Apologies if not)

Any questions just holler. It deffo looks a lot yellower/creamier in the flesh. Sandberg gig bag included.

Yeah no worries. Working from home today but I can whip out and get a digital scale this arvo.

Squier brings you the welcome return of a long vanished Fender classic in the deeply satisfying form of the Vintage Modified Bass VI six-string bass. The original model of 1961-1975 has provided distinctively voiced low end for everyone from the Beatles to the Black Keys, Cream to the Cure, and many others.

The Vintage Modified Bass VI delivers authentically vintage-style look and tone, with a few modern touches such as a comfortable “modern C” neck profile and 9.5” fingerboard radius (the originals were 7.25”), and three custom Jaguar single-coil pickups with notched “claw” shielding rings (reverse-wound/ reverse-polarity middle pickup).

Other features include the model’s classic 30” scale (standard tuning one octave lower than a guitar), maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, four two-position slider switches (on/off switch for each pickup and one bass-cut “strangle” tone circuit switch), tortoiseshell pickguard (three-ply white-black-white on Black model), two black plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone), and vintage-style six-saddle bridge with non-locking floating vibrato. Available in Black, Olympic White and Three-color Sunburst.
