JBA-4M: "Gloria"

[Bass Guy]

Still waiting for the 2L2R machine heads to arrive, so I can't finalise the headstock redesign...

And wouldn't you know it, what should appear in my letterbox this afternoon?

So I have a set of Gotoh-esque 2L2R tuners- pretty good quality for the few dollars I paid for them, and nice and light.

How light? Well, the supplied cloverleafs clock in at 78g each. The newbies are a mere 52g each. A weight reduction of exactly one third even before the drastic headstock shaping. Adding the 50g mass increase to the bridge I'm anticipating a far better balanced instrument with tremendous sustain and "ping".
