FYI Rob Allen makes a short-scale, similarly-priced version called the Mouse. You might also check out Birdsong basses, including their Shortbass model (the name says it all) starting at $1250; if weight is a consideration you might be able to talk them into building you a one-off of their discontinued Featherbass, which scales in somewhere in the low-/mid-five pound range - comparable to many acoustic guitars and as light as it gets in a solidbody instrument...
