RBX 170 Yamaha with broken nut

[Strat Hater]

I was just doing a string change and the nut broke at the E string. I am attempting to glue it together with carpenters glue. Think this will work?

Or will s regular Fender style work? The nut needs to be glued in like a Gibson style, but looks almost like a fender style nut.

Or do I need an actual Yamaha nut?

Use CA glue. Wood glue is for wood/wood glue-ups.

Get a precut nut and file it for the particular bass.

No.

*If* it's a clean break, and you haven't schmutzed it up w/Elmer's or something, thin CA may work.

No nut, "needs to be glued in", other than to keep it from falling of the instrument, when you change strings.
