JapanAxe Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Brass nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yes I noticed that and also the saddles have the wrong type of screws in them but these are typical mods/upgrades of a bass this age I reckon. My 71 P Bass had a bass nut and bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hi Prowla - According to eBay it has been sold to me and I paid for it so I don’t know what your previous reply refers too? Glitch in the system perhaps? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
