Sorry but no. The centre of gravity has everything to do with balance, not weight.

I didn't mention the centre of gravity.

Surely your Warwick which you are wanting to part with is a suitable weight? Maybe mine just feels light compared to my Mahogany-core Wal

I really don't think Fender has anything over a good Warwick, except for the reluctance of the bass world to let go of old 'benchmarks'
and of course, no one raises their eyebrow if you have a fender around your neck.(ooh, controversial I am!)

sorry, I digress!

I've never seen a 'cool' Warwick ... Mel is looking for something stylish

I've played some plug-ugly basses or R/H upside-down. Aaaaalways get them to sound cool

True, but a well balanced heavy bass causes less muscular stress than a poorly balanced mid weight one because you're not fighting with the thing all night.
