StewMac Digital Nut Slotting Gauge for Bass
When to choose it
Choose this model if you want the gauge maker’s probe method for checking first-fret string clearance on a bass. The base is made for wider string spacing, so verify its contact positions on the instrument before measuring.
Compare a feeler gauge when the instrument procedure calls for a blade check. Either way, record the reading before deciding whether any nut work is needed, since filing changes the slot permanently.
