Where can i buy...

[mrjim]

I'm needing an new nut for one of my basses but rather than it being a narrow nut that fits in a slot with the fingerboard on either side (ala Fender) i'm after a nut that sits joined to the end of the fretboard like a warwick.

I've had a look at the usual websites without much luck - any ideas? (I have the feeling i'm missing something obvious) Can i use a fender type nut instead? I'm ideally looking for a graphite nut but would consider all options.

Thanks a lot! Out of interest, how can you tell it is not a fender type? - Is it the thickness of the nut that matters?

this image on the manufacturer's website is the give away. Can you see the curve on one side of the nut? the fender style ones dont have that.
