StewMac 0888 Five-String Bass Nut File Set
When to choose it
Compare this set with the bass strings you intend to install. The largest width is .125 inch, so check the low string against the manufacturer’s procedure before choosing it instead of a .130-inch set.
The files have two cutting edges. Measure the clearance and confirm what work the slot actually needs before selecting a width and removing material.
