Thunderbird pro IV or V?

Hi,

I got the chance to try our a thunderbird pro IV and had pretty much decided on buying it - wonderful feel and thought "this is the one", but I've seen the pro V available online for less than the pro IV at the shop I was at so it got me thinking. Apologies for the many questions...

 

1. How much heavier is the bass? (pro IV is quoted at 9.7lbs in the info, pro V is not mentioned)

2. does the wider neck make a huge difference when playing?

3. Is the body bigger as well as the neck?

4. The newer thunderbird IV has the top strap nut moved underneath to help the nosedive (like the Gibsons), did the final runs of the pro V do the same?

 

The pro V is out of production so I might not be able to get it later.

 

Does anybody have one or both of these bass and can give me a little advice?

Thanks in advance

Steve
