I have a couple basses I am going to be getting setup, my Music Man Stingray 4 in Drop C, using the 124 drop tuning set Circle K strings, and a Sterling Ray35 in Drop C as well, but instead of the low B( or A) I'll have it tuned CGCFBb. Now, I'm wondering where I can get a few replacement nuts for these basses that'll work as well as the originals. Does EB/MM offer these parts? How much would I be looking to spend as well.
Thanks, Tyler.

Stewmac.com has nut blanks, and raw nut material, and all the annoying tools you'll need. Stewmac stuff is a bit spendy, but if you're gonna be "Mr. Custom Gauges" then you'll enjoy making your own.
I'm glad I took the time to learn how. |

Thanks, Tyler. | If you're getting these basses setup for these strings, filing the nut slots should be part of the work.
