Glued in. Think I will rip it out and just buy a standard nut. Well, one that will fit. Honestly, depending on your luck these sadowsky metroexpress basses are a nightmare

It's rather odd. When the top piece is inserted into the bottom slot and with the turning screws fully out, the nut sits quite high?

Think I will just locate a standard nut that fits a sadowsky metroexpress bass. No idea why it sits so high?

Posted this on another thread, but the lowest setting on the just a nut still sits quite high. Does this look correct? I would assume it could be adjusted to sit flat but this is not the case

As you can see at it's lowest setting, the Warwick Just a Nut sits very high! Is this correct?

Few more photos

Based in Scotland, just outside Glasgow. May locate a workshop to have a professional look 👍

So would buying one of these resolve the issue? https://www.stewmac.com/tonewoods/shop-tonewood-by-instrument/electric-bass-bodies-and-necks-and-wood/bass-necks/stewmac-neck-shims-for-bass/?&pref_currency=GBP&shipcalc=UK&mtm_source=google&mtm_medium=cpc&mtm_campaign=|+GOO+|+SHOP+|+BR+|+BrandUK&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwsKqoBhBPEiwALrrqiAqKlPZ9WYVmaU-_-ya0RvNVcWNtVm4G5gwg0600zb8qRWuiAnUarxoCfEMQAvD_BwE How does this happen on a new bass? Never came across this issue before

I know it's very hard to see from the photos, but the strings on my newly equired bass are sitting VERY high from the fretboard. The bridge saddles are set as low as they can go so I'm assuming it's a truss rod issue. If it helps, I would say the neck is sitting at a more forward angle (if that makes sense?) I have limited knowledge on set ups, but before sending to a shop, I'm wondering if there is an easier option to correct it myself? I'm always very nervous about truss rod adjustments

I ordered from thomann and got one of the early ones. Absolute mess😆 guess it's your luck which one they send out.

I'm interested in the price of the new 2023 range. Yes, improvements have been made (minimal as far as I can see) but if they come in at £800+ forget about it 😆

Dub_junkie is it a 2023 model you have ordered or is it one of the heavily reduced old stock? Mine arrived with a broken nut, no set up, sharp fret edges, and problems with the eq. What a delight!

Honestly, the new versions have to be really good as the market is full of mid priced jazz basses that are way better!!!!

For the price point I have honestly never seen such bad quality control. Pickguard is not even flush with the control plate. Very disappointed but optimistic the new versions will be a big improvement

As they are currently heavily discounted I decided to pick one of these up. What a mistake!! Even it £400+ the quality is shocking! Sharp fret edges, nut broken, and arrived with no set up. Still amazed these basses made it to market with such little QC. It's going straight back and I will wait for the reviews of the new line. What's your experiences?

Looking for recommendations of someone who can re-finish a bass (silver sparkle) Looking for somewhere cost effective with good results

I Highly recommend Tiny Tone. Excellent customer service and great product

Anyone know where I could get hold of a schecter model t pickguard in White?

Sorry may seem like a silly question but I'm thinking of purchasing a new neck for a schecter model T bass and wondering if purchasing a fender jazz neck would cause issues as it only has 20 frets? Schecter has a couple more frets 👍

Picked up a sunburst one last week, stuck in an EMG pickup and high mass bridge. Honestly, for the money it's a great bass and the neck is very fast to play. Radius is listed as 9.5 but feels like a 12.
