does anyone use this ABM brass nut?

Looks cool. Anyone have any experience with this nut or with ABM products in general? Can't seem to find a whole lot.

I would be mounting this on a Moses graphite jazz neck...

Never seen it before but it looks cool. What sizes does it come in? Where did you find that?

My Warwick has a similar nut (the newer 'wicks use a different style). I really like it. Easy to adjust height, and unlike a traditional nut, you can raise the height!

Hard to comment on tone/sustain, since I haven't done an A/B comparison with another nut.

They're in stock at bass parts resource: http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/bass_nutsaft.htm

Yeah, it looks like a rougher version of the first just-a-nut to me.

I'm thinking it might be a pain to install one of these on a Moses neck, since they're a bit thicker than the standard nut size. Might be more trouble than it's worth...

Can't comment on the Moses neck, as I've never seen one.

It looks like it only comes in 1-9/16" x 5/32" x 3/16. to fat for my Fenders & to skinny for the Gibsons. Wish they made more sizes.
