Zero Fret for Hofner Ignition bass

Nov 3, 2023
This is a great upgrade not just for replacing the nut but adding the zero fret gives some tone clarity on the open strings . Easy install no issues glad I did it .

Pretty easy to install - sand it down to fit - pick the fret that matches the rest of your fretboard - couldn't be easier!

I nutted

Aug 28, 2022
I bought one for my generic mass produced bass don't get me wrong It's an awesome bass . I recently had It refretted with jumbo gold bell brass frets and It's regular plastic nut started to feel off. I did a little search on web and came upto this products. I combined It with my leftover gold fret wire and boom I Nutted Finally after years of trying to prevent using open strings on my bass I can enjoy that low open string notes sustaining to eternity. 100 recommended and If you ever get a custom made instrument insist on the 0 fret option. You can try different gauge strings without worrying about nut slot shapes and widths.

Single best upgrade I ve ever done

Jan 11, 2025
Replaced a stock plastic nut on my Squier Jaguar short scale bass with a zero glide today. Hand down the best upgrade I ve done to that or any instrument since I ve started playing. Action is now perfect intonation is spot on tuning is even better/easier as there is less friction to deal with. My initial reasoning for this upgrade was to minimize any nut work needed when changing string gauges now I just have to set intonation and tuning and it s good to go I didn t expect the immense open string clarity change nor did I expect that this bass could get any more sustain out of it but I stand corrected I ll be upgrading every bass and guitar I own to a zero glide now If you re on the fence just go for it - you won t be disappointed

It Really Works!

Jun 23, 2015

The Zero Glide performs like the manufacturer claims it will. It took less than one hour to complete the installation and have the guitar playing. The nut I removed was cheap plastic and the thin wires had cut down into the nut to the point that there was severe fret buzz on the open strings. The Zero Glide cured that and has all of the strings at the same level. I used a disc sander to shape the nut to length and height in a few minutes. About five more minutes and the nut was polished. The installation looks good. I suggest a person view the manufacturer's installation video before doing the installation.
