thebassist Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Anybody know a contact who can make me a nut - it would be for a 5 string bass requiring EADGC tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebassist Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Bournemouth - I could try a local luthier but didn't know if there was anyone on here that specialises in stuff and has a good reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manton Customs Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 To get it playing it's best whoever makes the nut should have the whole instrument to ensure the slot depths are perfect. So you would be better off paying a local luthier. You can get an approximation by buying one online (which is what most people do) but it wont play as it should without fiddling unless you're very lucky.
