ikay Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The compensated nut is much wider than the old SR nut so it definitely wouldn't be a drop-in replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 what exactly does this do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Detailed explanation here - http://www.earvana.com/in-depth-1.html It's mainly used to improve the intonation of chords on a six string guitar. The extent to which it has any noticeable effect when playing single notes on a bass is questionable, but scientifically speaking it should improve overall tuning and intonation.

Fishman Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 surely it only affects open strings though – not for me, I'm out 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
