Well back in my newbie days in high school i bought a bass that i isntantly fell in love with at guitar center...(i would regret that later on). At purchase the so called "luthier" took to the back and said he'd have it ready in a bit. Later he comes out with it and hands it to me and i leave. On the car ride home i start noticing that the action was reeeeeaaaaallly low. the damn strings were touching the fretboard. *** did that a-hole do?!?!? well me being the noobie that i was i decided to tighten the e string to "fix" the problem because i thought the strings were loose.
Well i ended up breaking the string... i didn't even have the bass for an hour and i already broke the string. So then i read in the manual about the truss rod and how if you turn blah blah blah, well we all know how it works. so i was like "oh ok, i'll loosen it". I was gonna use the rattling of the strings against the frets to judge how much i should loosen it. So one turn on the nut and *pluck pluck* it rattled, ugh... gotta loosen it more so then i did and pluck pluck again, it still rattled, so i continued till all of the sudden the truss rod nut just popped off. then i realized the only thing rattling on the bass all along was the freak'n loose e string tuning machine because it had no e string.
... yeah, it gets worse
so now realizing that the rattling was just the tuning machine i declared my bass as fixed and .... ugh.... threw the truss rod nut away
well my bass ended up with the action of a bow and arrow. well a year and a half later i realized that the action on my bass isn't normal and that everything i did that day was the WRONG THING TO DO. Then someone told me that all it needs was a new truss rod nut screwed in. I didn't bother getting one though because i bearly played the thing. However, getting into college i discovered that playing bass is my true calling so i decided to take a bass class. i went to another guitar center.... ugh.... 2 weeks into this bass class to finally get it "fixed". well they told me that it'll be $20 and it would take Ibanez 4 friggin weeks to get the friggin nut there so i waited. Midterms then started coming around and i wanted my bass ready for my test performance. and 5 weeks had already passed so i dropped by and nothing. they told me to wait another month for the part to come in. So i played my midterm with this highly uncomfortable bass so i sayed to myself," eh, it'll be ready for finals". So now finals are coming around and no part at guitar center. So i did a little online research and realized truss rod nuts only cost 5-10 bucks!?!?!?
AAAAAAGH
SO LONG STORY SHORT!
Can any of these purchasable truss rod nuts fit in an Ibanez Gsr100 neck. or do i need a certain size that only Ibanez has.
Judging from the Google shopping pages, i remember it sort of looked like a fender american standard truss rod nut.
thanks in advance
