SPHDS Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Hi, this is probably a no-brainer/stupid question, but wanna ask before going ahead and ruining the bass......! I snapped a string last night at a gig (no biggy, had a standby bass on hand (until a string went on that too, luckily on last song....!) Anyway, am in process of replacing the strings and the nut fell out (bass is an Epi Explorer with brass (I presume!) nut) Do I:- i) Restring leaving the nut to be held in place by the strings (string went at the bridge) as it seemed ok before taking the strings off (know some basses/guitars have 'floating bridges' that are held in place by strings....is there such a thing as a 'floating nut'!) ii) Glue it back in place using superglue (got some Loctite....) iii) Ditto with wood glue (if I can find some in the pile of materials downstairs....!) Any help appreciated, sorry if it is a idiotic question! Sam Edited June 29, 2013 by SPHDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myke Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I glued mine on with a tiny amount of wood glue spread thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
