I have found on some pictures that nut of 2005 LTD ED (both guitar and bass) is of a special kind. A notch before each slot. What's it? will it help to the tuning? if someone own a guitar or bass installed with this nut, could you please paste a few close-up pictures here ?

God I love that bass! Jack do you have to wear white gloves when you play her?

Hah! I eat chicken sandwiches beforehand, smoke and drink coffee during.
It's a bass!
It is kind of pretty and pristine, though.

I'm just glad you have that one so the next time some butt wipe calls my ButterCream SR4 white I can direct them to your "truly" white bass. Sort of a reference piece for the bassically challenged.

I'm thinking about what else to do to it.
Beth owes me a pic of white with abalone, but............
That's kind of nifty, too.

Everything looks good on white, but I too want to see Beth's pictures. I'm not sure what is on my black Sterling, I'll find out today!

But in about 20 years, Jacks bass will be buttercream!Psycho Ward said:I'm just glad you have that one so the next time some butt wipe calls my ButterCream SR4 white I can direct them to your "truly" white bass. Sort of a reference piece for the bassically challenged.

Found those in a box marked "TIs off White Sparkle Sterling".
I last saw that bass in 2003, and I'm not entirely sure those strings weren't on another bass before the Sterling.

Ya think? I don't know if poly finishes will yellow like the old nirto finishes and the chances of Jack owning that particular bass in 20 years is pretty slim.

I'm not sure about the poly finishes, but good point about Jack not owning it in 20 years.Steve Dude Barr said:

It's a compensated nut - no need for special tuning equipment or any of that. It just works better. How nice and simple is that?
All new basses will have the compensated nut.
Are you in the States?
