Anyone know where I can find a Replacement Nut for a 4 string Fender JP-90 bass? I've internet researched & found the size quoted at:
1-1/2" nut width
and also Width @ Nut: 1.625" (41mm)
Does anyone have a definitive answer, & better yet know where a fella can get one online or in the Los Angeles area?
Thanks for your time & knowledge!!!

Nut replacement isn't as simple as just having the right sized nut blank. You are going to need to have a capable tech do the replacement, slotting and setup to your chosen string gauge size. Doing this yourself is akin to doing a front end alignment on your car at home. Neither are recommended as the results are going to be very disappointing.

In L.A. there are many capable people. Among them:
John Wescott Guitar Repair
North Hollywood, Calif.
(818) 761-4156
He has done work for many famous LA area players for over 3 decades. People you've heard of too. He will do it 100% RIGHT. I'd also provide fresh strings of whatever variety use and have him to a full setup while he's at it. I think you'll be amazed and it really won't add all that much more to the final cost of the nut install.

There are others, but he is one of the very best of the best. I love the JP90's and consider them one of my favorite passive PJ's ever.
