Hi Tom, My preference is the DiMarzio Split P with KiOgon loom and Sprague 192p 0.1uF capacitor. Warm & lush with plenty of power and old school tones.

Try the Kmise necks from Amazon. Great value for £30. They are really slim profiles and I believe they have some sort of metal reinforcement. Can't really go wrong for that sort of money. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-Maple-Fender-Bass-JAZZ-replacement/dp/B00SSY4MNQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1501835353&sr=8-12-spons&keywords=Kmise+jazz+bass+neck&psc=1

Back in 1971 H-H also sold a great 2x15 bass cab with a clip-on front panel to protect the speakers. Best rig I had in the early 70's was a H-H VS 100 Bass amp and TWO S100 slave amps driving a Marshall 1x18 sound bouncer and TWO Hiwatt 4x12 cabs fitted with Goodmans 50 watt 12 ins speakers. Sounded great doing Deep Purple & Sabbeth covers. I've grown up now and use two Barefaced super Compacts and Mesa Subway D800.

I have had my 1969 walnut Gibson EB3 since 1971.It's not going anywhere as it's in my Will for my grandson.

Hi Geoff, Which brand and where did you get them from?

+1 for Fender Kingman Great Jazz neck good acoustic sound and fantastic amplified sound. A/B The Fender T Bucket with the Kingman and Kingman won on neck and great low E sound unamplified.T Bucket just didn't have that low end smooth depth in the low register.
