    Cracked nuts !

    I was restringin' my Sterling when I noticed a crack in the nut where the D string would be !
    So what do I do now ?
    Get it fixed ok,but should I stick with a regular nut or should I get another (graphite,Stone, or other ?)
    Or you guys got other Ideas ?

    Many thanx already

    if you like the sound in your bass, get a new nut from eb and have a "good" luthier put it in for you.


    i had a break in the nut at the A strng last year. stupid me had the guy who sets up my friends bass do it.

    lets jsut say i need to have it re done cause it was cut way low and the e & a string.


    super glue would be a thing you could try if you cannot get it repaired right this second.
