Title: Mica - need new Nut for Mark King Signature...
Post by: scarbee on October 26, 2003, 10:35:18 AM

Hi Mica,
 
I need a new nut for my Alembic Mark King Signature Standard serial number: 99MJ2043, model number MJLB4 (March 23, 1999)
 
I have changed strings to: Ernie Ball RoundWound Extra 40/60/70/95 to get closer to Mark King/ Stanley Clarke sound.
 
So I get some rattle from the nut now - and belive I have to get a new nut from you?
 
Is there any other string set you can recommend for me - similar to this - to get Mark King sound? What did he use on his Alembic?
 
regards
 
Thomas Hansen Skarbye

Hi Mica,
 
I have now bought another set whic is closer to the right sound/feel:
 
RotoSound Swing Electric Bass 4 String Roundwound Long Scale, .035 .055 .70 .090
 
So the brass nut I need to be made is for these string sizes.
 
I really need this fast. If you can't make it really soon (within a few weeks.) is it possible to use current Nut - and file a bit in it?
 
regards
 
Thomas

You can certainly raise the nut you have and file the new slots deeper. We can't make a nut remotely - these are hand-fit to each bass individually. We can send ou a nut blank that you can have professionally installed locally.  Instructions are included.
 
I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with the strings Mark Kign regularly uses - he didn't order anything special on his basses.

Thanks. How much for a blank nut?
