Independent shopping perspective
A black, pre-slotted TUSQ XL replacement nut for 5-string bass. The drop-in design is intended to replace the existing nut without sanding, filing, or other modification: remove the old nut, clean the neck surface, and fit the new one. Its self-lubricating TUSQ construction is intended to reduce friction as strings pass through the slots, supporting consistent tone, sustain, and tuning stability.
