Also yes dood that's exactly what i want for the J! Only in chrome. Do they feel good? What's the quality like?

Yes! That's it exactly the j is like the one on the left and the p like the right hand. Have you ever looked for replacement tuners Stewart? I'd really like to have the same long stemmed ones on the p as the j. Hopefully with a detuner too. If I can find one to fit. If not what would people think of having the holes bored out? I have a very good local luthier in the shape of Dave Dearnley.

Actually they look more like they'd go on the P. The jazz ones have really really long stems. It's odd. Annoying too. I might take them to a tech and see what they think. Unless bassassin or any of the other jap afficionados have any ideas.

The P and J defiantly have different machines with the Js appearing just to be a larger version. The Js stand a lot higher than the p, their back plates are a lot larger and the posts look roughly a 3rd larger than the p to the eye. I've just put both serial numbers into guitar dater project. It gave the p as 1997-2000 and the jazz as 04-05 both made at fugi-gen. The J is 60s spaced with 60s headstock logos, CAR with matching headstock and 3 ply White plate and a dots and bound neck. The original bridge had threaded saddles. It weighs very noticeably more than the p. The P has television logos and is Olympic white with a black 3ply plate, non threaded saddles. Both are strung over. does this help at all?

90s CIJ is the only way to go I promise. They are ridiculously brilliant!

I'm sure the gaffer is a p pickup in j casing?

I had a streamer stage 2 Fiver, the broadneck one. It put me off fivers forever (hated the neck) but the sound, fit and finish and playability were great! Not to mention it looked ridiculously great. I broke the nut on it too, probs down to my heavy handedness. I really wish I'd spent the money on a thumb BO or a corvette $$ now. The 2 are still on my GAS list along with a ray.

I just saw waynes post. I like your thinking!

I know no one cares what I think but honestly a squier classic vibe is all the p bass you'll ever need. If you don't like basswood get a CIJ fender. When I got mine I tested a 2010 us standard too and the jap blew it out of the water in tone and fit and finish. Either way you save a grand which could be used for something else? To me a p bass is a work horse. I think super ps kind of miss the point.

Help! I want new tuners (and hopefully de-tuners) on my 2 CIJ fenders. They are a pb-70 and a jb-66us (I think they're the model numbers) the jazz has bigger holes in the headstock than the p and the hipshot site doesn't help too much. I'm not gonna be too snobby about them being hipshot but I definatly want de-tuners and I thought hipshot were the only people who made them.. Help!
