nut width

I am looking for a JMJ mustang but I just realized that the new ones have a 1 5/8" Nut. I much prefer 1.5" and I am pretty sure the originals were 1.5". Does anyone know when they changed as I am looking for one with a 1.5" nut. Also I would be curious to find out why they changed the width if...

Hello! I'm looking for a replacement string nut for a Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass (4-string). The ones out there are for use on American Standard Jazz Bass and other U.S.- and Mexico-made basses with 9.5"-radius fingerboards, but the new American Ultra has a 10-14"-radius fingerboard. Any...

Not sure if this should go in the luthier's corner, strings, or setup, but I hope you guys have some knowledge. I've got an unusual question/idea. I have a dingwall with a pretty long B, what are they, 37 inch scale. Pretty long. I use DR Neons on my other instruments. They work well...

Last month I received my 2021 P from Fender Mod Shop that checked all the boxes but the nut had some issues causing a buzz that couldn't be resolved with adjustments. I took my handle to Straight Frets here in Austin and they cut a new nut on their PLEK. Here is the video of the process along...

I'm a guy with smaller hands - my 5'3" wife and I wear the same gloves comfortably - and maybe because of that I've preferred my 36mm Stingray and 38mm Jazz necks. I've owned three 5-string basses previously - all low end (<$500), all resold - and didn't care for any of them much. That being...

There's been a lot of talk about this. By "a lot" I mean "none". So who would it be? Who would walk away with the big belt? Who is the Ultimate Champion in a Cage Death Match? In this corner wearing white or maybe bronze shorts, weighing 1.5 grams, Nut Width. In the far corner weighing...

If you took all the factors into consideration... profile, finish, nut width, fretboard edge, etc, which one hits a home run for you? I thought about this and I nominate my American Performer Jazz. The neck is as close to perfect (for MY hands) as I've ever played but I know everyone has...

I am building a 6er with 19mm spacing. If anyone can verify/provide the nut measurement at 2.12" and neck width at 22 or 24 fret would be fine. I have 3.5" at 24. String total width at nut would help too. Summary: nut width and string total width at nut and neck width at last fret on a 19mm 6...

@bgartist posted in my NBD thread about my SB5000 that Carvin has a nut with of 1.75” while my Pedulla is 1.875”. My old Lakland is 1.81”. This was an eye opener because I cannot imagine a bass playing more easily than my Carvin. The thing about the is despite of relatively narrow nut, the neck...

I need a 4 string in the arsenal and I am a bit concerned with going from a 5 string nut width to a 1.5 ... I found a more expensive option with a 1.65 Will one be a safer jump? Or is it not that big of a deal long run? Basses Im referring to: Current 5 string - Lakland skyline 55-02 1.5 -...

Hi all, I haven't posted in a long time, and can't figure out how to post on the gigantic Ubass threads, so sorry for posting here, but, I need help! I have small hands, and an injury that is not likely to heal any better than it has. I love the 1.5" nut (I forget the mm) of the Fender Jazz...
