JP compensated nut dating

[bonez]

Hi all.

Thinking of buying myself a EBMM JP6 (does Big Poppa have any in the "Secret Vault" that he's willing to give me ) hehe anyway im trying to find out at what year did the compensated nuts on the JP and other EBMM's get installed??

I believe the first instrument with the compensated nut was indeed the Bongo, which was first launched in 2003, I have also read in this forum that after the compensated nut first appeared on the Bongo it was subsequently introduced to all the other lines of instruments.

I think it was a little later, I used to have a 2004 SUB, which did not have the compensated nut.

After being introduced on the Bongo, it made an appearance on all other instruments in the 2005 LE Buttercream package. In late 2005 it appeared on all EB instruments (however I have never seen a SUB with a compensated nut, not to say it doesn't exist). I remember walking through the factory at the '05 Open House and seeing a few necks with the compensated nut starting to make their way through production.

I can confirm my Sub is a 2005 and no compensated nut.

My JP is a '05 and doesn't have it...a '06 will, a '04 won't, with a '05 you'll have to check.
