Hey Crabby, to buy a new Just-A-Nut all brass III it will cost around $150. I have one on my NOS LMT Corvette and it doesn’t go down as low as all the other previous designs for some reason. I see this as an issue my E and B are high at the nut and now I can’t get them lower without a file. This is the only issue I have with it.

You have other options. Danna B Goods the old USA distributer has the latest graphite Just-A-Nut II (in lefty) for 5 strings in stock. They are $32 plus shipping. All brass looks better but I like the graphite ones and they are super easy to replace. I bought 3 and have 2 left and I have an older brass original Just-A-Nut with the screw adjustable mini saddles just in case. Look around on evil bay or buy a brand new brass one but all are easily installed with little effort.

Thanks, I have struck out with the Canadian distributor as they don't have a lefty brass nut in stock and the US distributor will not sell to Canadians directly. The price for a brass Just A Nut III is downright obscene at over $100.

I did speak directly with a Warwick administrator on the Warwick forum who has advised he can sell me a nut directly. I am going to go that route and I hope it works out. Seems like this is not a simple affair to replace a faulty nut. :(

That's my entry for the club! A killer warwick corvette std 98' with wenge neck and 13 pounds of bubinga's great tone, retrofitted with bartolinis and a 4 position rotary switch all thanks to the great TB'r Levi.

This picture was taken today by a friend during recording session.

So there you go, I would like a number if possible (please) thanks!

Hey y'all-wanted to share a video of a performance I have from 2011's French Quarter Fest with our band Soul Project. This is the first song of the set, really a "warm-up and check levels tune". I'm using a NT thumb wired passive with Barts and brand new blue steels through my SansAmp and the SVT backline. Sadly, I don't have that thumb bass anymore. It was a beautiful work of art (wenge neckthrough and curly bubinga) but always felt too small on me(I'm 6'1 and 210 lbs). Couldn't agree with the ergonomics either. Still got my Streamer 5, Taranis 5 and 90s Corvette though!
