Bass Wielder Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Need (want) a shiny brass nut on my ACG Finn 5 string. Mostly for aesthetic reasons (well aware of the use of metal vs the rest arguments…phew). Anyone recommended in the Buckinghamshire area ? I’m in Aylesbury. Also I cant seem to find any blanks in the approx size….W5.5mm, L47.8mm, H9.5-8.5mm Edited May 30, 2022 by Bass Wielder Quote

Its a US company…haven’t done that kind of transaction in a long while. I was hoping to use someone more local to me (a bit more local than that😂) But..in case, anyone with experience in cost/time/tax etc….for US shipping to the UK? Even with a small item like this… Quote
BassBunny Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Why not speak to ACG, @skelf , and see what he can do? Assuming it's a bolt on neck, detach and send it to him. Alan retro fitted luminlay fret markers on two of my ACG's and I just sent the necks. Edited May 31, 2022 by BassBunny 1 Quote

Bass Wielder Posted June 1, 2022 Author Posted June 1, 2022 Finding a local (within reason) to do is proving to be more difficult than I thought. Alan (ACG) is just too far! Move closer damnnit!! Just checked Bass Gallery……one week turnaround (two London trips)! Wowza! May have to pull out the pliers and a manual! Quote
Lozz196 Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 Is a trip into Hertfordshire too far? If not our very own @gary mac might be able to look at this for you. Quote

Lozz196 Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 Gary’s based in Hoddesden, does all the work which I can’t do (so pretty much everything) and his work is both excellent and priced well. Quote
