Hey this is great info, thanks. And echoes the advice ive recieved on other platforms. I am going to look into shimming the neck on this one and see if it returns a little more play to the saddle, thereby bringing them in line and buffering each other better left to right. I also have 3 year old...

Just putting this out there wondering, what would your choice be for a replacement bridge for a '79 P if it was yours, and why? Looking for something drop-in on the 5 screw setup. I believe its an 'A' neck, and to me the string spacing is *perfect*, so no need to have any crazy adjustable...

most helpful! thanks!

Hey there. Just picked up my Second JP-90 bass. The first one was a weird aqua blue color, picked up from Ed Roman Guitars in Las Vegas circa 2005. I traded it for my first synthesizer and found out the new owner quickly traded it to the local music store for weed money. I was pissed. It has...

i ventured into the poorest county in virigina and almost got shot at to purchase a fixer upper micromoog. and the dude threw in a Farfisa Fast 5. a roland d20 that still needs love that someone was about to just leave on the curb at the local music trading post. sketchy beat microphones that...

No compound radius here. 12" all the way. I measured it with the bottom side of Stewmac understring radius gauge set.

Dropping the pick - from a more rock/punk influenced style in my teens to a more grooving and deeper tonal style with fingers now. Though my picking skills really dropped off after shunning picks and playing nothing but bass for 5 years i try to flatpick alternate and travis picking forms...

Is this something akin to people finding 70s P basses with '79 dated pots and an '81 serial? Maybe a hodgepodge of parts from a change in production/producer? I still wouldnt rule out a previous fretboard level/re-radius or neck replacement. Or if the fretboard itself was replaced its perfect in...

Its fretless. The serial is not stamped on the bottom of the neck, only the model PJ555. The headstock is black matching the body and contains the serial number. This bass is a shaging mystery wrapped in an enigma. Non stock Seymour stacked 5 lead bridge pickup. Old strap button hole on the...

Its an 89? I0003XX Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

I have played one, i rather liked it but yes it had a more Jazz bass like growl to it. It called to me but that day i left the shop with an Ampeg B15 so i cant really complain.

Can you tell me when and why my PJ-555 transitioned to 12in fingerboard radius?

Are there differences in year models for the fretboard radius of JBS? I have an MIJ JBS with PJ-555FL (6) stamped on the heel of the neck with S/N I0001##. It was sold as an 1987 for whatever reason. Any ways the FMIC '87 brochure states most of their MIJ models, including the JBS-F 27-7300 have...

Thanks for the helpful replies. I got an Eb3 recently that has mostly gathered dust but one thing I find challenging about it is its body proportion to neck and the location of the neck joint. I felt myself having to 'reach' and stretch more for notes in first position and often coming up a fret...
