Ou7shined Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have a needle file set that I'd gladly send ya (if we're talking a fast turn around - I use them almost daily) but it might be more economically viable for you to have a gander [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=needle+files&_sacat=See-All-Categories"]here[/url].

Bass Culture Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I also got something similar from B&Q a while back, and they were chips as chips too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nozzle cleaners are much finer. They don't have enough cutting power to cut a nut from scratch but I've found them useful for making fine adjustments to nut slots, particularly for the G and D strings.

Protium Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Generic cheapo needle files off ebay do the trick easy, useful for cleaning up bridge saddles as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I do like the Stew Mac proper diamond jobbies tho' they make it so much more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
