diehardcrew Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I might be blind or having bad luck, but I couldn't find info on this although I have a feeling it may be a common question?? Anyhow here it goes: Is the nut glued into a recess near the end of the fretboard (that's what the tutorials made it sound like) or just behind the fretboard? I've seen it both ways, or at least I think I have. I haven't heard much discussion on preferred method if there is more than one. Does it just depend on how deep your nut is? If it matters I'm asking specifically for a bass guitar. Also, do many bass guitars have neck angles? I don't think I need one. I plan on using a Hipshot bridge (5841-B on stew mac) I believe it's only 1/2" high, and if my fingerboard is almost 1/4 inch, my calculations show I wouldn't need one. Does that sound right?

Dr. Jabsco Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 No, you wont need an angle. But remember the sanding and radiusing will take some off of you fret board. The nut is usually glued behind the fretboard. anything else? -Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardcrew Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 No I think that does it. Thanks a lot for your prompt response. Unfortunately I have to fix the electrical in my house before I can fire up the jointer & other tools again. But I hope to make some progress soon. Thanks!
