Graph Tech TUSQ XL Archtop Bass 4 Nut – GT18W
Upgrade the performance and feel of your 4-string bass with the Graph Tech TUSQ XL Archtop Bass 4 Nut, SKU GT18W. Designed for bass players and instrument technicians who want consistent performance from the nut, TUSQ XL combines excellent tonal transfer with a permanently lubricated surface to help reduce string friction and improve tuning stability.
Unlike traditional bone nuts, which can contain natural variations in density and grain, TUSQ XL is precision-engineered for consistent performance. Graph Tech designed TUSQ XL to efficiently transfer string vibrations into the neck, helping reveal additional harmonics and producing a rich, balanced and responsive tone.
The permanently lubricated TUSQ XL material is particularly useful for bass players who regularly bend, tune and restring their instruments. The low-friction surface helps strings move more freely through the nut slots, reducing the chance of string binding and helping the bass return to pitch more reliably.

Why Upgrade Your Bass Nut?
The nut is a small component, but it plays an important role in both the tone and tuning performance of a bass. A properly fitted TUSQ XL nut can provide a smoother string path, consistent contact and efficient transfer of string vibration. Graph Tech specifically positions TUSQ XL as a premium material for electric guitars and bass instruments.
Please check the dimensions, nut profile, string spacing and slot configuration of your existing nut before ordering. Replacement nuts often require professional fitting, including adjustment of the nut height and slots to achieve the correct action and string clearance.
