    exact same thing happened to me i just got the brass jan 3 but paid through the nose for it (120 i think) as i bought it direct from warwick, i think if you look around you can get much cheaper alternatives that just are not official warwick parts, my bridge does not match it though and looks fine i think =P

    Nice bassses!

  3. Hi all!

    So I was changing my strings on my Warwick Thumb the other day when all of a sudden *shock horror* the nut fell apart!

    Now i know this is a problem with some Warwick basses so I wasn't too worried or disturbed when this happened, I even managed to repair it and make the bass playable!

    My biggest concern is this... do I replace the nut with the Tedur just a nut 3 system that's probably made with the same brittle, meaning I will probably end up replacing it again in the coming years or, do I fork out the cash and change to the just a nut 3 brass nut which will inevitably mean me changing my bridge to the brass set up also?! (the thought of not having a matching nut and bridge makes my bones itch..)

    I guess what i really want to know is this.. is the brass setup really worth the cash? I've heard that there are slight tonal differences with the brass systems, really? or am i better off ordering 1 or 2 Tedur just a nut systems and just replacing them as i go?

    Hope to hear what your opinions are soon!
