Yeah it was probably your post that I misread! I don't know if the tuners from the 425 are exactly the same as the 1025X, but I did see one post on Talkbass where someone claimed their Ultralights fitted perfectly into the existing hole, so we'll see how much luck I have...

Well..on the new line yamaha put some lightweight tuners...will they fit the old series..like mine 1025 ?

Ok , thanx guys . 

Another weight question..

Some of you replace the tuners with lightweight tuners like Hipshot ultralite ? ..if yes which model ? Thank you

Start to thinking to get a nother 1025 or maybe a cheaper 425 and turn it to fretless...I really start to dig these basses !!

One question about weight...I am very happy with my new/used BB1025 and one of the reasons is that is a light bass...around 4kg. Fellows bass player here in France keep telling me that I am lucky because all the Yammy 5 they tried or own were more around 4.5kg..;and more. So what is your experience with weight ? is mine an exception  ??

SOLD !!

Well guys....you were just RIGHT !! Arrived this morning...beautiful neck , lite , very very punchy and a nice and tight low B. Will sure change the knob configuration in a V/V/T ..;I like to mix the 2 pick up and choosing the balance. Capacitor and tone will also be changed..;but this are really minor adjustement to my taste and habits. Considering how much I've paid for it it's a nice bargain. The neck feels just fine and the pups sounds really good rich and powerful. 

Might still be there.  

From Nordstrand audio Website

The NJ4 will leave you breathless with the splintering snap and grind of its hardwired midrange that can only be tamed by the norepinephrine of its euphoric high end. This is a vintage style single coil pickup made with 60s era correct Heavy Formvar wire, a choice of alnico III or V magnets, and wound with a programmable CNC winder that simulates a vintage hand wound pattern. The combination of the HF wire in correspondence with the simulated hand wind produces the pickup's lowered resonant peak, which is the source of the hypnotizing ambrosia that is the NJ4's divine high end. Between its high and low end frequencies, this pickup produces a full-bodied sound that replicates the drive synonymous with 60s vintage tone.

Technical Details:

• Single coil 4 string jazz-type bass pickup

• Standard Alnico V magnets (Alnico III as an option).

• Available with an alternative 70s wind, featuring enamel wire and a lower wind count than the traditional 60s wind. In choosing this particular specification, the player can expect a more aggressive, enhanced top end with a tight bottom.

• Drop-in J replacement pickup.

• Available in black plastic covers.  

• Laser cut bobbins wound with Era Correct Heavy Formvar wire, or plain enamel for 70s wind.
• Wax-potted to contain any unruly frequency that may attempt to desecrate your desired tone

I do love Bare Knuckle P , put once on my beloved and too soon gone Bacchus Vintage Series BPB62 and it just kills. If I remember correctly it was the '58 , not sure to be honest. They made 2 version and mine was the more punchy version. Remember I've made some 60's Fender PB owners goin nuts when we compared my 330€ used bought Bacchus with their pre or post CBS P's.

That Bass was a special one...BK pups helped to sound really amazing

Sounds like you could end up spending almost as much on some new customised PUPs as you have just done on your used bass, from the price you reported on the parallel thread? And actually you could risk the bass being of less value in terms of re sale price if you swap out the original PUPs than just by sticking with the much liked existing ones.

I completely agree with the comments above to give the Yammy PUPs a good try out first. They really are very good!

The different size of pups put the upgrade in an another completely different perspective...financially speaking. I'll stay with the yammy pups...saving for another bass with Nordy PJ ...because i am in love with this sound !!

Yeah the BB42x/102x series pickups have metal surrounds on them anyway so I reckon you could just get some new ones made to fit the new pickups?

I will say, however, that the stock pickups in these basses are some of the best I’ve used in any bass. Give the BB a good trial in stock config before dumping a load of money on upgrades - video demos won’t do it full justice.

Yes i will definetly do give it a good trila period...thanx you all for the advices !!It's a  1025...so i would have to ask carey Nordstrand for a custom housing...long and not cheap i guess !!
