Can anything else be done for a heavy bass?

[Longwheelbass]

When I built this out of reclaimed pitch pine it came in at 9.5 lbs. After the router attack it's a lovely 8.25. 

A late 70's Musicmaster that is so heavy you hate playing it is begging for the router. No-one's gonna want it as is if it's that heavy. Go the rout route and then you'll play it all the time.
