    Changing the nut on a Spector legend 5 custom

    I recently bought a used legend 5 custom that's awesome. My only problem with it is the action. I went to a local shop and had it set up in a GCGCF tuning.

    Does anybody own a Moon bass?

    I met a guy that played at my cousins wedding and he had one of the nicest basses I had ever seen. I talked to him about it and he said it was a Moon, and that he got it in Japan. Apparently he went to the factory and and got it directly from there. I think he said that they weren't available in...
