A Worthy Upgrade for Any J Bass-style Instrument

If you’re looking for an easy instrument upgrade, this TUSQ XL nut from Graph Tech offers numerous advantages over rival products. First of all, it’s impregnated with PTFE, which is rated amongst the slipperiest substances on the planet. The result? Near-zero string binding, which ensures rock-solid intonation — your strings simply glide back into tune. What’s more, this nut is engineered from the same material as Graph Tech’s popular TUSQ, so it yields the same balanced tone, increased harmonic content, and incredible richness. And its light weight and rigid construction deliver optimal vibration transfer for maximum tone and sustain. At Sweetwater, we’ve found all of Graph Tech’s TUSQ and TUSQ XL products to be extremely consistent from piece to piece, with zero flat or dead spots. Graph Tech’s TUSQ XL Jazz Bass 4-string nut is a worthy upgrade for any J Bass-style instrument.

Reviews

Good for me.
Bought this for a FenMex 2014 Jazz Bass. Needed to raise the strings a bit; thought this would be better than filling the existing nut. It did the job, plus helped a dull g-string 5th fret C3 sound vital; all notes sound more lively and rich. Easy to install and file. Be aware that this is slightly wider than the 1.5-inch Jazz nut width, and the strings from E1 to G2 end up being spaced 0.050 inches further apart. (This did not bother me or the bass; YMMV.) Recommended.
Perfect
The fit was a little too tight, but once I got it in it's perfect. Used this on my '06 Fender Mexican Jazz Bass.
All wrong
It's too wide - the whole nut and the string spacing. Jazz bass nuts are traditionally 1.5" idk why they couldn't just make it fit right. I received a package that said XL Archtop Bass 4 and they're supposed to be the same? C'mon yall, this is ridiculous. I would not recommend this. 0 stars if that was possible.
