1.58mm aka 1/16". Find yourself an imperial sized key and that'll sort it out. As for the truss rod, anything that will fit will do - try adjusting the action via that first as that's all I ever need to do.

I liked mine when I had it, but it did unfortunately have neck issues. Sounded great but was only just playable..

You'll get on well with ped .

I'd reply with something I couldn't repeat on here .

Choosing higher gauge strings will allow you to lower the tuning without losing as much tension on them. This means you should get less string buzz and it should sound better ! Try getting 55-110

Reserve not met - it isn't a bargain yet .

Just so utterly pointless..

I've got a MIM Jazz i'm not happy with and to be honest just want to shift and get something else. I don't think it's worth dumping any money into them as you usually don't get much of that investment back if you sell it on. Things I dislike with mine are unbalanced pickup output (loud G string and slightly farty neck pickup), plus it needs more defined sounding pickups, but i'm reluctant so spend any cash on it when it might still not be what I want (Jazzes may just not be for me).

I had an MC900 with a bit of a dodgy neck, still managed to swap it to the equivalent of £600.

Yeah - but for me the improvements are all cosmetic (bar pickup positioning). Since you can get a new MIM standard for about £300 I wouldn't pay more than 50% of the existing price just for block inlays and a pickup to be moved <----------> this much.

I think if they price these up for over £450 they won't sell very many.. it's getting to MIA Highway levels.

Nice looking Precision there.. you don't see many with nice fancy tops.

Interesting - especially if they're better than normal MIM's.

Yeah good point. Don't tell the rozzers .

It's Ctrl+F5 in Internet Explorer / Firefox .

Printing your own - now there's an idea that can save a lot of money ! All you need is the image on a white background I assume ?

Hey, welcome to the forum .

The active parametric synthesis could be referring to some EQ built into the cab. Tri-amplified means that lows, mids and highs have separate amps with active crossovers. This should give far greater SPL capability and lower distortion than a conventional rig.[/quote] Do they have flux capacitors too ?! .

Yeah have played a couple in Sound Control. They're ok basses, i'd put them in the same category as Squier / Yamaha starter basses.
