I’m assuming to narrow??

 

My luthier made me a new nut for my Stingray 5 it’s definitely helped 

 

my preference is 19mm , it’s narrower than that but way better

Yes too narrow for me. I CAN play them but my comfort is compromised. So the Marusczcyk I got yesterday from Bass Direct not only sounds like a P (hence the share)with neck pickup soloed AND a Ray (to me at least) with bridge pickup soloed it has 19mm bridge string spacing-in fact a fraction wider as the B to G string measurement is about 78mm. Doesn't your Ray feel the same with the new nut down at the bridge end?

The new nut keeps the G string on the board and “aligns” better so it feels wider 

 

enjoy your new instrument 👍
