Warwick Just A Nut III 4-string 38,5mm

After swapping out the strings on my bass for some significantly thicker gauge strings and having to file the nut slots to accept the thicker strings, I realised that I needed something a bit more flexible if I was to return to regular guage strings.

Installation was relatively simple, though I had to move the truss rod cover on my bass (Ibanez GSR180) as this nut is maybe 2mm thicker than the original (It's also about 2mm narrower, which means the strings are marginally closer together at the nut, though I'm not too concerned as it doesn't seem to have affected the intonation at all). I still need to do a bit more work to get the string height correct, such as filing a bit of a slot into the neck for the baseplate to sit in as it's just a bit too high currently, but other than that minor issue this has been a breeze to install and set up.

Unfortunately on my Rockbass Corvette the original nut broke and I had no repair shop near by. So I ordered this replacement part and tried my luck in repairing it on my own.
With a courageous hit I removed the old nut, sanded off the old glue and then glued in the new nut. All worked fine!
Now I have a nut that seems to be much more sturdy, is easier to position and fine-tune, looks nice and did not destroy the sound of the bass. I even imagine the sound has improved a bit... But I'm not really sure. My mind might play tricks on me.
But all in all it seems to me as if it was a good tradeoff. Great nut!
