Sean Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Mr Anthony' timestamp='1413387050' post='2577803'] Hi Sean, did the hipshots just drop right in, or was there a bit more to it than that? [/quote] They were very close but I used a bit of 240 grit paper around my finger to ream out the holes a bit. It only took about two minutes a hole of gentle sanding. Two of the screw holes match, the other two are close but not quite so I drilled a tiny pilot hole and screwed the other two in. No holes can be seen and if you put the old tuners back on no-one will be any the wiser. Edited October 15, 2014 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just picked one up in Sky Blue. Very well made. Unbelievably so for the money. Tried it through a Promethean combo and it sounds really well. Very jazz like. High gloss finish. Not light but not too heavy either. Quite impressed really. As well made if not better than a lot of Mex. The necks not as thin as a Fender jazz profile, its a bit of a cross between a J and a P. Yeah, I think I would gig with one if my JV wasn't available...

John_P Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's a shame I'm not a fan of the looks of the 5 strings - still very tempted to grab a 70's blonde though. If they are playable that's amazing value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamfist Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Can't beat these with black hardware. Nice bass Mark88mph. I've gone little further with mine. Pickups now changed to Duncan STacked Jazz bridge and SPB-1 neck. And my graphite Status neck just looks sooooo good on it.

hamfist Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The J&D '63 Precision specs don't give the nut width spec, but just by the pics I'm sure it's well wider than a Jazz neck, certainly over 40mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
