Black TUSQ XL by Graph Tech Model # 1445-00 5 string bass 45 x 6

The product itself seems good but I wish there was not information regarding bass compatibility. I purchased this for a Yamaha 5 String Bass and the spacing was different. The bass is still playable but I’m not sure it will affect my playing in the long run.

1445-00 Nut

The original nut on this Yamaha 5 string bass snapped. I think it was plastic. This was the closest fit I could find. The height was perfect. The thickness was a bit too much and I have to take about 1.5 mm of each side of the witdh, but it was fairly easy to do. The nut slots themselves are perfect. Over all I was pleased. Some pointers on polishing after sizing with sandpaper would have been appreciated. I felt the price of the nut was fair but the shipping cost was crazy high.

Perfect upgrade to my stock nut. Had my bass set up to play low tuning and needed a new nut to support drop G#. Worked out great
