Super Squier Part 5: TUSQ XL Nut

[@jonmuir13]

Great vid, but i fucking died when I saw that scratch on the Fretboard. Who else had it coming?

[@MuscleDad420]

holy shit the way you removed that nut

[@vassili87]

he chipped the fretboard as a result!

[@anthonysclafani3963]

yea def the wrong way to do it. That's why he damaged the fretboard

[@nrich5127]

When you rush a job and you don't really know what you're doing sometimes it bites you in the ass and you chip the finish. A scraper razor blade should have been used on all sides of the old nut to separate the nut from the finish. Also knocking it out side ways prevents lifting the finish. That being said , I'm sure we've all made mistakes , I know I have.

Their fine bass nuts, but won't change the tone of anything fretted. The real benefit of a tusq nut is their tuning stability(less friction on the string) compared to a plastic nut. That being said some squires are using a synthetic bone material that shouldn't need replacing.

Why no sound examples of stock nut for comparison?

[@woah4848]

Leiria65 well there are 4 other videos featuring the stock nut

[@McDoinky]

Because the director has been drinking throughout the entire series

Hi guys, great video project, do you remember the Nut Model, it is not anymore on amazon in the link. Please help. Congrats for the Super Squier

[@chasejasiorkowski3812]

You guys are by far my favorite channel on KZbin, thank you for putting out such fantastic reviews and demos.

[@facedowngaming]

I cried after seeing that fretboard chip!

[@nrothe2898]

night and day difference. congrats on the new tuner btw.

[@SuperGeorge2112]

The nut on these squiers are flat bottom the nut you linked to is curved.??

[@AndreaAustoni]

Nice hack job. You chipped the fretboard and you used super glue to secure the new nut. A better way to do it (learned from better tutorials on YT): Score around the old nut with a blade then put a screwdriver or small flat object on the side of the nut and tap a few times with a hammer. The nut will dislodge. Then clean up the nut slot with sandpaper. Graph Tech nuts need to be adapted to the slot with sandpaper, they're usually a bit thicker and wider (on purpose). Finally use a couple of drops of wood glue like Titebond to keep it in place. This way it'll be easy to remove if it's needed.

Wow, now I need one of this, I'm modding my affinity pj, so far it has a Babicz bridge and Organic pickups, great channel love your videos

[@rallypoint1]

Chipped fretboard...got to be careful dude!!

[@zurdo6545]

Nice👍 I bought a SquierDeluxeActiveJB about 2 years ago.And is not that bad, but you guys just give me an idea about what can I do to it, so I can start using it more often xD

[@ilpatongi]

Hey, I know this is an old video but do you remember if the nut slot was flat or radiused? I can’t find a flat TUSQ nut and I was curious

[@TheBassChannel]

It was radiused. Just their standard Jazz Bass slotted nut.

[@ilpatongi]

Bassic Gear Review Oh. Well it looks like I’m not that lucky, I have a flat slot and probably will need a different nut

[@ScisaacFisaac]

This Squier makes me ashamed I haven't modded my own Affinity Jazz yet.

[@cheranguista]

In open notes you see the diffrence

[@stripedpants1668]

This guy reminds me of agufish.

[@filomenamano9104]

hello ,black nut has better looking on that bass .

[@andrewoverhere8525]

I think this is the first video I've used the dislike button on, ever. And I've been using KZbin since the beginning

[@TheBassChannel]

It’s an honor to be your first.
