I've been lurking around for the last few months since i bought my 02 Thumb 5. Thanks to you all for great advice and information. I've also been really happy to listen to a lot of your music. Lots of diverse styles, all Warwick. Reinforces what a good decision it was to buy it. It sure wasn't a cheap decision. :D

So here's my question: i decided to replace my JAN II with a JAN III. followed the excellent tutorial posted by scubadiver and the link to the official Warwick guide posted by ThirdthumB. When I pried the old nut off the headstock, some laminate (or wood) came with it, resulting in the new nut not sitting in full contact with the headstock. I honestly can't tell if there's resulting sound loss, now that i put the new nut on (pic below). But can someone maybe ease my mind? Also, the pic below makes it look like the nut is set way far from the fingerboard but its just the camera angle.

I've been considering filling the void with superglue or something, is that wise?
 
G'day mate & welcome.
From your pic it looks like you could definatly fix that gap up quite easily.I wouldnt rely on superglue to fill the gap but maybe try some Selleys No More Gaps.Your local hardware shop might be able to steer you in the direction of something better to use.
Good luck eh dude. :wink:
 
Welcome to the forum :-)
I don't think you have a problem there, just do what Greg told you to do, and you'll be fine :-)
 
thanks everyone. i will check out what the local helpful hardware man has for me.
 
either way you'll be fine. if you do nothing there wont be any problems and only you (and us :wink: ) will even know about it. if you do do something about it it'll be a simple proccess. win-win situation :)
 
I've had similar problems before on other basses... I fixed it quite easily with some 2 part epoxy... But chances are Greg's idea will be a bit easier/cleaner... I tend to go overkill with everything :P
