Don't you have a simple needle or triangular file, it will work with some patience. You can also take the G file, put some sanding paper "around" and file the D string slot and so on. You can even use this old trick with a string a bit smaller "wrapped" in sanding paper to file any slot. Or you can buy the real deal. They are expensive, but worth every penny. These Ibanez nut files are excellent : https://m.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_4449eb6x_nut_file_set.htm?o=3&search=1611753350 And don't forget to clean your files very often.

Indeed Dave. Too many people are playing (them) without any comprehension or passion. You've to understand what you play. It may take some time, but it's worth every minute or even year sometimes.

Listened to it without the sound, it's highly watchable. Too bad I couldn't take my eyes off the high heel shoes. I said look me in the eyes... I said the eyes.

You can have them made to your exact specifications by Christoph Dolph, the man behind BassCulture. It's in Germany, he is a very nice chap to deal with and VAT registered. https://www.bassculture.de/

Or for Mono...

Got my Amazon parcel from U.K. to Belgium today : no added fee.

@mhoss32 This is becoming a Mad Professor project and I absolutely love it 😍 . The marquetry idea for the neck is simply awesome ! Indeed boredom is the mother of creativity ! 👏👍👌

Thanks @Bill Fitzmaurice.

You know the chase is better than the catch, you know.

That's exactly what they all did : playing poker with each and every citizen's money, but theirs. And nobody even had a royal flush, only a bloody pair. So sad.

@BigRedX This wasn't against you as you'te coping to try to get this sorted, but against the idiots pretending to govern us anywhere. When you know you have a deadline, better be prepared to it and get everything totally sorted for that deadline, which absolutely not the case... You don't get a treaty signed on the eve of such a deadline unless you are selfish fools. And it has nothing to do with politics here : it's a simple heartbreaking fact.

4 years to get ready and we are still in the middle of nowhere : extraordinary ! There should be a stronger word than incompetence for this !

It's typical from the Gary Willis basses. 😉

If you ever want to part with it, you know who to write to.

Love it and the serial number is just for me. Sending this exactly at 23:23 local time. Get it ?

@itu Do you have a photo of your AFR ?

Love your pickup idea ! Are your pieces of wood intended for some marquetry at the back ?

It can be called both ways... Now both are nuts, for sure. I hope the OP won't get nuts with these two different names. 😉

And put your Allen key to the max in the bullet (that's the way it's called) post of the truss rod, because the alloy of the bullet is softer than your keep. Everything will be fine and you'll avoid rounding the inside Allen imprint and damaging it forever. Also use the correct Allen key (metric and imperial is not the same).

Isn't it mandatory since a year or two ?

I've ordered, this Monday, some La Bella White Nylon's through Amazon.fr from Amazon EU (not a third party seller) using the Prime system as I'm in since the beginning. They were supposed to be delivered on the next day before I hit the buy button, then on the Wednesday when officially bought and today I had a message saying that I will get them next Tuesday and they are coming from ... the U.K. I'll refuse the parcel if there's any additional fee. This world is becoming more stupid every day. 🤦‍♂️

I've owned at least 11 real Fender Precision Basses... Don't think it's a small number.

Go headless !

Thanks @Stingray5 it reminded me that I also owned an Eko BA4...
