Decker Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi, Can anyone out there recommend a really good quality Jazz Bass nut.I have just gone and bought a Tusq nut and to my dismay everything about is wrong.The E to E spacing is nowhrere near the original bass. The A and D are almost there, but not quite and the E to E are too far apart. Ive have measured this nut against my 78 jazz and a 2010 bass. A lot closer to a Precision nut me thinks. So at the moment I have a new bass nut for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 not sure if I read the thread correctly, and don't think I'm telling you suck eggs, but there are two sizes of Tusq nut...a jazz sized nut and a precision sized nut...maybe you have the wrong nut?

Ended up buying a blank nut and cutting it myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
