What I was trying to get at was if the quality of your guitar that you are trying to de-emphasize is the exact quality that the bone will emphasize then you won't be pleased.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107978 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107941 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 18:05:20 +0000
Thanx]]> Guitar Players Discussion mikey007 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107941 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107939 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 17:49:15 +0000 could be perceived as loosing some bass response.

Having said that I agree with Nick's comment that it is all relative and you have to try it to find out if it is right for your guitar. Keep in mind that if you already think the guitar sounds too trebley then it could get worse.

On the other hand if the current nut or saddle is cut bad or worn out even going to another plastic one would improve it by just letting the right treble through and get rid of the extra ringing you sometimes get from a bad seat.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107939 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107918 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 12:24:29 +0000
I always thought that the bone didn't muffle the treble end of the sound wave as much as plastic did not that it decreased base response. So the result is that it sounds brighter not that it lost anything, but that you gained something in the upper registers.

It's a subtle distinction, but it can be important.

If your guitar lacks bass, that might be a bad choice.

Better is relative.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107893 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107885 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 06:07:39 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion gene https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107885 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107856 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 04:31:04 +0000
But that difference isn't always desireable. It's a change, but you can't really tell if it's better or not until you try it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-107856 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-9792 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 03:40:27 +0000 Mikey]]> Guitar Players Discussion mikey007 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/bone-nut-and-saddle/#post-9792
