The threads, anchored in the neck, that secure the nut on my Epic, had become dislodged. I set about fixing this, by reseating the threads with some wood epoxy, (behaves like real wood!!) When I had the strings off, I decided to put a little brasso to the tailpiece and the bridge. For the first time since I have owned this bass, the brass looks great. When I strung it up and plugged it in, I was surprised to find that the tone had improved, noticeably. I mention this to encourage all you tone freaks out there who might not have considered this, a clean bass sounds better than a tarnished one, go figure.......
