I've been GAS'ing over getting a Ric 4003s recently. Between getting a mapleglo and a walnut body. Which is the lightest?

I just noticed on the bass weight table
The Talkbass table of bass weights has moved!
someone has recorded their 4003SW as 7lb 12oz which is quite a bit lighter than other 4003's, which might just swing it for me. I've found that my back likes my basses the lighter side of 9lb.

Can anyone else confirm their weight?

The walnut body Ricks are lighter than their all-maple counterparts. Usually by about a pound.
