small for the innovations.      Will that affect a lot my sound?
Is it that bad?    2. Oh and what should I do with that?   3.

strings on the first few frets. you can get a small set of files
and file the slots on the nut until they allow the strings to
set down, or you could get a small piece of sandpaper and wrap
it around a small section of the bass strings and use that to
get the slots to the
