The current update is that I've begun modifying the security hex bit by drilling the center hole in the hex bit with a drill press. It's been widened but I probably need another round with a slightly wider bit to make the hole big enough. Once I've got that project done I'll give it a try and...

I would be very open to this idea, but do you think there's any way to do any welding inside such a cramped wooden area without ending up with a nice sounding campfire? I just don't think there's any way to generate the heat necessary for any welding technique without lighting the neck on fire...

I appreciate this idea, but with the nut designed the way it is I don't think I could remove the nut even with this method. I believe the entire rod would have to be removed and it would have to be lifted out of the neck to do so. I believe it's the whole fingerboard or nothing. I'm pretty sure...

Ask and you shall receive. The item description is "Warwick Parts - 2-Way Truss Rod, Steel 630 mm (post 1996)" I doesn't look like most two-way truss rods i've seen either, I'm just going off of what I've read. I wish there were more detailed diagrams of the rod and how it's placed in so I could...

I think the penetrating oil is a good call, and I can definitely try pre-relieving the neck to keep from turning against the strength of the strings. If I can get a grip inside the nut i will definitely try these ideas out. Also I agree it's a shame it is being made this way. I was told the...

So I have talked with a Warwick rep and they told me that it isn't a removable nut. Here is a picture of the rod from their website. Unfortunately it's a totally round barrel on the outside of the nut, so a socket won't work. I like the aluminum idea except that I can't take the nut off. I'm...

Hello, I bought a used Warwick Thumb BO 5 bass (2001) years ago and when I was setting it up initially, I noticed the truss rod nut was somewhat stripped out. I was able to get it in a good spot and have left it alone for a long time but I would like to be able to make some changes now. If you...

I mean as for famous players a lot of people seem to like Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers but I've just never been all that into them personally. I'm more of a metal fan for sure, but as for great bass players in that field, I really like Arif from Protest the Hero, and Dan Briggs from...

Well if both are an option that's simple and not worth discussing. If you only want one, go piano. Piano is really hard to get into when you're older, and it requires (at the higher levels of playing) some really complex and intellectual techniques as well as physically challenging ones. Not...

As much as I would like the money, I can't go any lower than this. I'll eventually just close this and keep it if I have to. But I'd love it if someone else got a chance with this guy! I really enjoyed my time with it and I'd love if someone else got to also.

Well I'm sure this isn't the deciding factor for anyone to switch to a 6'er but it sure it a lot easier to play chords with that extra high string. It gives you more chord range and the lighter strings make things much easier on your fingers. Also the closer string spacing helps a lot.

Price drop bump! Now 350 shipped, that's the cost of one of these badboys new, without the case or the Demarzio cliplock strap, all in great condition shipped right to your door!

Definitely still available. Personal message me if you're interested!

I should specify that the strap it's got on it right now is a demarzio cliplock strap, which comes with it. And again I'll send the original buttons and screws with it too.
