My other bass is a '74 Jazz, w/ frets. It has the same modification plus a bit more 3rd pickup, brass nut.

The nut... and the bridge a bit too...

I tune it CGDG so in string terms it's threaded BADG

(If anyone needs some estrings I have a whole box of them around here somewhere ;-)
It is an awesome player too.

That's what I was going to say. Changed the TRC.
