thinman Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The A string on my Jazz has always had a tendency to jump out of the nut (towards the E) when played hard with a pick. The string does angle towards the E at the nut. I can sort of get round it by making sure there's a lot of string on the tuning machine to keep the string more straight but the standard nut is quite shallow and I wonder if a deeper replacement might help. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Why not file the relevant slot on your current nut? If that doesn't solve it you could then look at replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I too wondered if you just had it recut. I have a bone nut on my original P-bass. It's not an expensive modification but chances are your original one just slipped through the quality control & is an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
