Who was it that said "Early Christmas presents all round" early on in the thread? (Sorry for being lazy and not looking up the correct post).

That was me
As far as the problems go, my j&d vintage 75 had taken a lot more work to get playable, having resorted to using two part filler on the nut, dressing the sharp end off the frets and lightly dressing the sixth fret on the g string , and it isn't sold as a "second " of any sort, but is recommended by many on here because if you know how to sort out the minor issues or can live with them (via higher action ) it's a great bass.
Tweaking a truss rod isn't so taxing, especially in this modern age with forums like this and many online tutorials of how to set up a stringed instrument.
Hope everyone is enjoying their bargain basses
