Mustang pickup vs P pickup

My JMJ is the heaviest of all my basses (not including the EUB) at 3.7kg. However, because of the balance, I don’t notice it so much.

Yeah, my heaviest bass is around the same - a gorgeous 70s Antoria P bass.  But I am thinking ahead to my increasing decrepitude.  My lower back is getting worse exponentially, it seems, and arthritis in my fingers is on the move!  I am holding on to my long scales for as long as possible as I have some lovely basses but I do find short scales so much easier to play.  I am sure there will come a time in the not too distant future when I have to get get rid of all my long scales, by which time anything over 8lbs is going to be a non-starter.  The plan for the Mustang was to invest in a quality short scale to ease the loss of my others but it just isn't light enough   Anyway, I can think of lots of things to do with £1800 that doesn't involve bass guitars
