Warwick Corvette 5 nut problem.

The nut is in two pieces. And if you know much about Warwick basses, you're probably not worried yet. However, if you can visualize with me, the bottom piece connects to the bass itself, and has two small columns that are on either side, that hold the second piece down.

Here's where the problem is, one of those little side pieces that holds it down has broken off. How should I go about repairing this?

I was thinking of taking a small bit of that plastic melting glue and surgically attaching it back on. (I mean a really small amount.) I don't really want to order another bridge from Germany and pay $120 because one little piece snapped (which I must say happened extremely easily).


What would you do here?

iplaymetal, it should be ok for the time being. Dan is very good about replies, and super cool to deal with. You can also call him at 212-777-6990. Remember they are in NY so its Eastern Time zone. Thanks for your patience...keep me posted.

I broke the crappy plastic nut of my Rockbass too. I got a little pice of mahogany and made myself a nut. Cost me nothing, looks better and sounds better than before. :P
You just need a little piece of nice wood, some sandpaper and a lot of patience.

Take care

Well its not a Rockbass, it's a Warwick Corvette Std, German made too. The nuts that are on these Warwicks are not regular nuts either, but Dan has told me to either, a) buy one from him for $56+$8 shipping; or b) Use a soldering iron to melt the two pieces together, or c) use it as is, with the string tension holding it in place.
