So I get some rattle from the nut now - and belive I have to get a new nut from you? Is there any other string set you can recommend for me - similar to this - to get Mark King sound? What did he use on his Alembic? regards Thomas Hansen Skarbye scarbee Junior Username: scarbee Post Number: 16 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 10:37 am:    ups - serial number is: 99MJ12043 scarbee Junior Username: scarbee Post Number: 17 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2003 - 12:00 am:    Hi Mica, I have now bought another set whic is closer to the right sound/feel: RotoSound Swing Electric Bass 4 String Roundwound Long Scale, .035 .055 .70 .090 So the brass nut I need to be made is for these string sizes. I really need this fast. If you can't make it really soon (within a few weeks.) is it possible to use current Nut - and file a bit in it? regards Thomas mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1175 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2003 - 9:15 am:    You can certainly raise the nut you have and file the new slots deeper. We can't make a nut remotely - these are hand-fit to each bass individually. We can send ou a nut blank that you can have professionally installed locally. Instructions are included. I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with the strings Mark Kign regularly uses - he didn't order anything special on his basses. scarbee Junior Username: scarbee Post Number: 18 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2003 - 10:14 am:    Thanks. How much for a blank nut? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1176 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, October 27, 2003 - 10:38 am:    The nut blank is $38 plus postage. scarbee Junior Username: scarbee Post Number: 19 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 2:46 am:    Cool.
