StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hey there I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows which Graphtech top nut would suit the Rickenbacker 4000 series basses best They're so much cheaper than a genuine Rosetti Rickenbacker replacement Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I think that Rick ones are a weird shape - I ended up getting mine from Rosetti after a long hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hiya mate, sorry to be the bearer....... I aked the same question of several graphtec stockists and the answer was a unanimous, none fit sadly. I was pretty p****d as well. Might be worth having a word with your local super luthier and getting a custom,bone, graphite, brass whatever. Realistically it will hurt at first but you will get donkeys out of it. I haven't got mine done yet but was quoted £40 for brass custom nut, fitted. Good luck, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Got advised by a mate that the Graphtech PT-1200 is the perfect one for a Rickenbacker 4001 and 4003 Here's a link to one on the Graphtech site for you - [url="http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?SubCategoryID=58"]http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?SubCategoryID=58[/url] Much cheaper and much more reliable as they help your strings glide through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advise though, i think i shall have one made like you said =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
