Detail 01
Synthetic ivory material
Harder and denser than plastic, so open strings ring closer to a fretted note. Consistent, no grain variation.

ProlinePL2310 J-style Bass Synthetic Ivory Nut, Slotted
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pre-slotted synthetic ivory nut cut for J-style bass necks. For a bass owner replacing a worn, cracked, or badly cut nut.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a chipped or buzzing nut on a J-style bass
- Builders assembling a J-style bass from parts
- Swapping a black nut for a white one cosmetically
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars, P-style basses, or 5-string necks with different spacing
- Players wanting bone or brass tone character
- Anyone unwilling to sand, file, and glue the fit
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Slotted
String slots are already cut, so you skip nut files. Depths still usually need dressing for your gauge.
Detail 03
J-style sizing
Width, radius and slot spacing follow Jazz Bass necks. A P-style or 5-string slot won't line up.
Detail 04
White finish
Visible against dark fretboards. Shows dirt and string grime more than black or bone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No glue included. Plan on a small dab of adhesive.
- 02Blank is oversized for fitting. Expect sanding of the bottom and ends.
- 03Removing the old nut can chip finish at the fretboard edge.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Fender Jazz Bass?
It's cut to J-style dimensions, so it's the right starting point. Measure your old nut's width, height and radius first, since necks vary and the blank is meant to be sanded to fit.
02Do I still need nut files?
Usually yes. The slots are pre-cut but rarely at final depth for your specific string gauge and action. Files let you dial in the last bit.
03Is synthetic ivory better than plastic?
It's harder and denser than typical injection-molded plastic, which means less slot wear over time and a clearer open-string ring.
04Can I install it myself?
If you're comfortable tapping out the old nut, sanding to fit, and gluing lightly, yes. If not, a tech can do it quickly.
