    I have a new aluminum (Aluminati) neck that I want to mate with a new Warmoth Jazz body. The neck pocket is the correct Fender spec 2.5 inch/63.5mm width but the neck heel width at it's widest point is slightly narrower at 2.46 inches. The Fender spec for neck heel width is 2.5 inches and...

    Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass Bone Nut Incorrectly Cut - Too Wide

    Hi All, I just received a brand new Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass. Upon attempting to change to new strings noticed that the E String Bone nut is cut much wider than the Fender supplied strings the bass came with. How can such an expensive bass have poor workmanship like this. I...

    P Bass nut slots depth and width.

    Hi! I'm finishing a 1958 P-Bass inspired build I described in this thread, and the last thing I have to finish is to get a perfect nut. I picked extra hard bronze as a material for my nut, but I don't want to ruin it and file it too low, so here's my questions: What is the optimal nut slot...

    Nut Width versus Neck Thickness

    @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...

    Specs vs feel... Which specs really matter most?

    I've now got three 5 stringers, all different, a Yamaha TRBX605, Ibanez BTB657 and 2010 Fender MIM Jazz. All feel different than each other, but in different ways than I expected. I guess what's driving me to write this is that what I've found is that no individual spec by itself determined...
