Not thick, not super thin either, a comfortable handful, if that actually means anything. Fender describe it as a C. -

It wasn’t massively noisy, but there was some hum, despite the split coil. Any pickup will hum if it’s picking up interference, it’s just a matter of how much and how loud. At least that’s been my experience. TBH, I think it was/is a poor show by Fender to not have any shielding in the cavities of a £1k instrument. After all, the JMJ has modern (albeit reliced) Hipshot tuners, so it’s not an authentic ’60s repro, if that’s their excuse for not using conductive paint in the cavities. -

Hipshot recommended HVAC tape but the good news is that US made Ultralights are bigger and fit the holes in the Sterling. Normally this would mean double the cost, which, given the mid price bracket of the Sterling, would be a bit prohibitive, but the BC marketplace has come to a very timely rescue .

I don't think you'd be sorry. Yes there are things that aren't so great, but it's a mid priced bass and some small corners have been cut to get it to a price. I've posted what I think is a fairly comprehensive review here (@RichT might be interested in this too). -

If you still have the receipt, you can contact Gretsch customer services for $100 worth of goodies by way of reparation for misrepresentation. My Sterling’Ray SS weighs 3.4kg. Stick a set of lightweight tuners on one of those and that’ll be very close to 7lbs and under that £1k budget; it’s what I’m doing (more for the better tuners than the weight in my case). The new black/maple/tort version looks great. YMMV. -
Good call! Rock and Roll Jelly is another belter.

I had the PSU fall over on my LM2 when I had one and it seemed to be a thing with all LMs at the time.

Those headstock ‘inlays’ are all sorts of dodgy.
