lee4 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've re-strung my Yamaha with 45-105 flats,and after a day I found that the E string has broken a chunk off of the nut.Luckily I have found it and glued it in with UHU.Is this going to work,and do I need to re-cut the slots?

However, you have to ask the question why it happened in the first place. It may well be that those flats are a little too wide for the slots - did they exhibit any objections to going in the slots when you first strung up? If so, you may need to marginally widen the slot.

Super glue can be successful but I would suggest a replacement nut is the best way forward. I've always found Yamaha's spares dept to be helpful - ring them and quote the model bass and they should be able to supply a nut to fit at nominal cost.

And that is a really cheap shot at us "normal" Newcastle men not realising that women don't mean what they say, but that they are only trying to provoke us in to thinking deeply about what they are really trying to say........if you know what I mean. I am expecting my first warning and if I get banned for that, you have my number if you need to contact me.
