Default Luminous mass of typical Spiral's bulge vs its disk?

Just a basic question about spiral galaxies like the Milky Way or M31:

Disregarding the massive Dark Matter halo, whatever its true nature,
what is the typical mass (in say solar mass units) of the normal,
luminous matter (ie: stars, gas and dust) in a spiral's central bulge
as opposed to the mass of the same material in its disk?

Such info seems to elude me on the usual net sites.

Thanks
Gene
