Howdy folks,
I was hoping someone could give me some tips for the final stages of this build.
1. I have been meticulously getting everything ready for tonight and the body is all wired up and ready to go. I installed the machine head and neck this evening and while I was getting ready to string I noticed something that almost made me cry ....
The nut is missing (((( I had a good look through all the remaining parts along with the box that it came in and cant find it anywhere .... (see pic below).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make one, or do I need to buy something? Sooo sad right now ... boooo ...
2. Do I adjust the Truss Rod after the strings are installed?
3. Are there any video links to help me with this final process? There are loads of guitar tutorials, but not many bass tutorials.
4. Action: What is the recommended distance between the frets and the strings for a bass?
5. Very open to any tips to help me during these final stages
Hope someone can help me - thank you!!
PS Were there meant to be strings in the kit? Mine did not have any so I needed to buy some. Wow, bass strings are expensive.
