xadam270x Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) so i woke up about a week ago and took an early morning stroll around the block, i walked up on a First act bass in a trash can (probably for good reasons) and the only thing wrong with it is the nut was broken. so i took it to the local music store to get a nut and have it put on figuring it wouldnt be more than a couple of bux when the guy at the counter said it would be 25 dollars to fix it because he had to custom fit one (he is full of **** too.). so i ordered a nut off of ebay for 50 cents and it fit right in. i got all black hardware and im in the process of painting it and i will post pictures in a few day. wish me luck. xadamx Edited August 13, 2006 by xadam270x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 What makes you think the guy was lying? Take a look at stewmac, they have stanardized nuts for fenders and gibsons(I believe), but first act? of course not. Time is money for techs, and it could take them a good half an hour to get that nut fitted and slotted to their requirements. You have to figure that out of that $25, they're paying a buck or two for a nut, they're paying the tech, and the store's taking a chunk out for itself. Welcome to the real world.
