The String Nut raises the strings above the neck, allowing them to vibrate freely.
Reference # 1: Eye Brow to String Nut
When in playing-position, the bass string nut will be at a height similar to the level of your left eyebrow while you are standing up.
The String Nut is located at the base of the peg box and is an important reference point to remember while adjusting the bass.
Your torso has a distinct relationship to the sloped-shoulders and back of the bass. In order to help you fully appreciate the importance of this reference point, Scroll, Q, and V, will be discussing the pros and cons of sitting or standing while playing the bass. This knowledge will help you to use leverage!
Q, Scroll, and V will now debate the topic:
“TO SIT OR STAND” – THAT IS THE QUESTION!
For the debate, Q is the narrator, V is the Position-Expert, and Scroll has a mental-file folder for practically everything! This should be quite entertaining.
