The TUSQ XL 5-string bass nut is the ideal way to improve your instrument's performance. Made of TUSQ, an engineered material, this nut provides better tone, rock-solid tuning stability and longer string life for your 5-string bass. Pre-slotted for a fast, straightforward installation, it's the perfect upgrade to enhance your playing experience.

TUSQ Material Boosts Your Tone and Tuning

TUSQ, an advanced polymer used to construct this nut, produces a warm, rich tone with pronounced clarity and sustain. Its ability to transfer string vibration efficiently results in clearer, more resonant notes across the fingerboard. TUSQ is also dimensionally stable, resistant to temperature changes that can cause tuning issues with traditional materials. Once installed, you'll notice your 5-string bass holds tune better during performances and practice sessions.

Pre-Slotted for Quick, Easy Installation

This nut comes pre-slotted to fit most 5-string basses, allowing for a fast installation that won't require adjustments. Simply remove your current nut, clean the area and slide the new nut into place. Its precision shaping and slotting ensure proper string spacing and action height for optimal playability. If any minor tweaks are needed, the soft TUSQ material can be easily filed or sanded.

Backed by a Two-Year Warranty

Graph Tech covers the TUSQ XL 5-string bass nut with a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects. You can upgrade your bass with confidence knowing this nut is built to the highest-quality standards and backed by a reputable brand.
