squire5 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Can somebody put me right.There are various neck radius's(radii?).OK?This then means that there are various neck widths.OK Then that means there are various sized nuts.I have a '69 Precision which needs a new nut.I ordered one from a company on Ebay,tried to put it on today,and find that it's too small.ie short lengthwise,and smaller string spacing.Tried it on my mates '76 P-bass.Fits perfectly!The odd thing is,it fits my J-bass to a tee .Does anybody know the various neck dimensions of the Precision,or what size nut I should be looking for. Thanx guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
