I’ll let someone more experienced than I reply, but the first thing that came to mind was there was silicon on the base material.

You mean that as a slur, but we take it as a compliment. It is often used by someone younger when they are proved wrong by facts, and have a difficulty in understanding why what they FEEL is true is in fact false when facts are brought to light.

Well looked at 50 or so Jazz Basses at under 2000$. Found 3 pine bodied ones out of those 50 that weigh less than mine does currently. They are $1850. I think I’ll sit where I am and call it a success.

Here you go. The bright spot on the left is from a flashlight.

Where’s the tater?

Nice!

Just looked it up, it is 24.75 scale length. A W neck will not work unless you relocated the bridge. That is way over your head as a beginner.

The main concern in the initial post is that it is neck heavy. Start there. Get some LW locking tuners. Hipshot makes some great ones. That's an easy to do thing for a beginner using Hipshot's UMP system.

I think Hag is referencing the numerous neighbor reports. Were you not at the last HOA meeting?
