Help! Broken Nut

[MuckSavageDLX]

Hey all. Recently broke the nut on my Stingray Classic 5 at the G string. I ordered replacements from Ernie Ball expecting that they would come slotted but alas they did not. I spoke with a local luthier about cutting and shaping one for me and he quoted me $85. Is this a fair price? Also does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes pre slotted nuts for this bass model? I've found some that might be close but thats about it.

Regards

That sounds pretty fair considering the work involved IMO.

Think $60 an hour and yes, that's not bad.

Do any of the pre-slotted graphtech nuts work on EB basses?

I'm checking with Graphtech. Just waiting on a response. Thanks for the info on luthier costs. I do the set up and maintenance myself so I had no clue as far as what cost would be. I'd give it a go but dont have the right tools to do so.

Thank you.
