I just grabbed RD505SB for ~200$. Like mint condition. Before this one I had OLP MM2. This one has much more sonic options. But is also heavier. Here are the pics:

Yes I put dual rod pictures not mentioning that I have one. What standard rod look like/work like?

You mean this way? turn the lower nut counterclockwise and the upper nut clockwise so they block the rod and turning any of them will turn the rod? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] the upper nut will be the regulation nut. how can I say 100% that the rod at the opposite side has broken...

This is what I mean of inner bottom of the nut: Inner bottom is what we don't see here, inner bottom is being hit by the rod when the nut cannot be screwed more clockwise. How would you call this inner bottom in English in better way?

At the moment I cannot use current nut without additional washer because the inner rod (this with threads) hit the inner bottom of the nut that is used for tensing the rod. I would have to add more washers.... Anyway it looks bad. After adding this one thick washer (large nut) I was able to make...

This is how I like to present everything and ask for everything. Easy to read, understand and answer. Thank you.

Yes when I added large hole nut, the inner part of rod pulled out additional ~10m. To be precise, it pulled out the height of the large hole nut which is working as washer, because turning the regulation nut I again reached the moment where I cannot turn the regulation nut anymore, the tip of...

OK sorry, didn't know this word, was using tensioning rod at the beginning. TRUSS ROD since now.

I was helping the neck being less bowed when I was screwing the nut clockwise. I used not the washers (I couldn't find) but the nut with bigger inner hole than nut used to tense the rod. Anyway the inner rod came out about 10mm and again the tip of the inner rod hit the inner bottom of...

If you've bottomed out the nut on the rod, you're smart to have stopped trying to tighten it! You mean: if I/somebody loosened/unscrewed the nut on the rod, there will be problem tightening it, because the wood over time changed structure? But there were no washers under the nut to this day...

By washers, you mean: ? If you look closely at picture: the trust rod is how to say that.. the trust rod is the inner threads which goes all the neck to the head side, and the outer part, the "pipe" which also I think goes all the neck to the head. When I turn the nut clockwise, to bend...

Thanks abemo. I used luquid spray (lubricant) that I use for rusty nuts. I put this spray on threads and on the trust ord itself, so the liquid spray flows down on the rod (the neck is standing on the head on the carpet). In my case, the nut is screwed all the way onto all threads and cannot...

Hi all I have some problems with neck in my bass. Bass is Polish hand made P/J copy by Mensfeld. It looks like: Link Removed Link Removed I got this bas for free from someone who was not using it (has other basses), but it has problem with neck, which is curved in this way...
