Question Could I get some compensation?

[Wowbagger]

I was just wondering if anybody knew if I could order a compensated nut from EB or an EB dealer. My Stingray's a 2004, so it didn't come with one.

i dont think they can retrofit on the older models. i could be wrong tho...

Damn. I hope that's not true.

Arin is on the money, you can't retro fit the compensated nuts... yet.

 

[Wowbagger]

They're not the same size?

They're larger (wider in breadth).

So... couldn't I just remove the old nut, router the proper nut slot, and install the compensated nut?..

Yes you could, the additional width is on the fret board size. But it's a major thing, since there really isn't any going back (apart from patching the fret board). Don't know if MM is too happy with that solution though, maybe that's what Colin refers to, them looking at a way to do it without forever altering your bass?
