Thanks to all for the advice, much appreciated. I've found a local guitar tech and he's also recommended I go for Graphtech instead of the brass option. With that in mind I've ordered
a Tusq XL nut and I'll get him to fit it for me. I've watched a few "how to" videos on youtube but despite being a competent DIYer I still don't fancy tackling this job myself!

Hi all,

Newbie here, need some advice please. I have a Fender Mark Hoppus signature bass (Precision neck, Jazz body) and after many years of
loyal service, the nut has broken.

Looking for the best option in terms of a replacement. I like the idea of a brass nut as, in theory, it will never need to be replaced again
but if I do go for brass, should I get it hand-made (The Bass Gallery in London have given me a price) rather than ordering something
online and worrying about it fitting properly?

Northwest guitars sell a brass nut for a tenner but presumably, as it's a generic part it'll need a bit of fettling to set up properly? This isn't
a job I want to do myself either, I'd rather leave it to someone who knows exactly what they're doing...

Thanks in advance,

Leo,
