Just picked up this New JB-63. Absolutely love it, Neck feels great and the Lollar pickups are spot on. Makes me want to try some Lollar pickups on my Precision too.

Finally got my hands on a PB55 with a 1.5" nut width🤙
Big thanks to Jay at Matt's Music Center for helping make it happen.

I ended up swapping the Lollar SCPB in the PB-55 for a Curtis Novak TB-V. I had described to Curtis that I was looking for a warmer, rounder tone and feel, with a softer attack and fuller low mids, and he recommended the TB-V. After trying it, it was pretty much exactly the direction I was looking for 🤙

The TB-V wasn't quite a drop-in replacement, though. The pickup base is shaped slightly differently and needed some minor reshaping to fit the cavity.
