BigKahuna855 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 i want to replace the crappy nut on my bass. i was thinking about going with a new graphite one. my questions are: how easy is it to remove the nut from its slot and put in a new one? what tools will i need to do the job correctly? how much will it cost me? is it easy enough that i will be able to do it myself, or should i find a luthier to do it instead? P.S. what is a "piccolo bass"? i keep hearing about it and i have no idea what one is. "I'm thinkin' we should let bump answer this one...

PickPunk Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I think a piccolo bass is a 4 string bass tuned an octave up, kind of like a 4 string guitar. Someone more knowledgeable can correct me on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 P Bass Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I'm very much a DIY kind of guy, but I'd leave a nut to a proffesional. A pro will have the right files to slot the nut, and know the proper way to remove / replace the nut.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Having someone else do it will probably cost $25-$50, labor and material. You could do it yourself, but you're probably best off having a tech do it. If you're gung ho on DIY, have a tech do it and watch while he/she does it. Then do it yourself the next time.
