I brought my 1973 Jazz to rehersal this morning with my Forte 5er. My black/maple/black inlays "Geddy" Jazz is one of the best Fenders i have ever played (even early 60's).... But it just can't compare to an active Spector. Sounds so thin when A/B-ed and I ended up playing the Spector for all but the first song.
I really need (sorry, want!) an active Jazz 5er and I am likely going Coda. A Fodera NYC is the other option, but the tops on some of the recently built Codas are killer.

Guys, who can educate me on the difference of brass nut vs black graphite nut? At the moment I have graphite nut on my NS-2 and I like the sound and set-up is perfect to me. I also have an original Spector brass nut which Todd provided the shipment with (Thanks Todd!!! but I haven't put it on yet because I actually like the way it sounds with graphite one and another thing I worry about is that the techs who will replace the nut for me will also do complete set-up and I'm not sure if I'll like their set-up preference. Anybody compared the tone brass vs graphite?

But keep this in mind.
The tone of the graphite vs. brass is only valid when you are playing a open string.
IMHO if you are happy with the the setup and the way it sounds keep it with the graphite nut. No need to spend money having a tech replace it and you may not even notice a difference.

So I think it may be worth leaving it as is.

Edit:
I see the Godfather said the same thing. What a pimp.

I thought the same thing...too thin of a tone. My Coda beats it hands down!
