truss rod nut

I’m looking to replace my Am Pro’s truss rod nut and can’t seem to find one anywhere. Apparently I’m after fender part # 004-8688-000 but I’ve only managed to find one eBay link which doesn’t ship to Europe, so that’s the end of that option. If anyone could link me one that would be much...

I’ve got 2 Fender Custom Shop basses. On adjusting the truss rod at the heel the flat edged screw driver I was using left the slot on the nut looking a little marred. I went and got an Original Fender Vintage replacement nut and replaced it but using a better fitting screwdriver. My only...

I bought a brand new bass (Fender American Original 50 Precision) and it arrived with the truss rod nut in this condition (see image). It came with an inspection sheet from the company, so either they caused the damage while setting up the bass, or Fender did (which I find less likely). I like...

Hi all, I have two Squier basses I'm working on, a CIC Affinity P from 2009 and a MIK Squier II (from '93 if I remember right). Both of them have truss rod nuts that are pretty well stripped and I'm looking to replace them. Both take a 4mm wrench. It looks like most Chinese models take a 5mm...

Hi all, I got ahold of some cheap beat up basses I wanted to fix up for fun and give away as starter basses. Started with cleaning and truss adjustments, figured if I can't do that they're next to worthless After getting some rust off with WD-40 I noticed that while the nut isn't stripped at...

I just picked up a Fender Ultra Jazz V neck that had the heel mounted spoke wheel truss rod nut broken off; I think the threaded rod that the spoke wheel was attached to was actually snapped. Thankfully the rod is not rattling around in the neck and it has a substantial backbow, so I think I can...

I purchased a used (practically new) RBX170 bass, and during the setup find out that the truss rod nut is completely stripped:(( Contacted Yamaha for replacement info for the nut, but they consider my bass as not repairable:)) I can't find any info about the size of the nut, so I can find a...

I own a 1983 Elite II that I encounter problems with to access and insert an allen wrench for adjustment into the truss rod nut. None of my regular size truss rod tools (i.e. Fender 3/16") will fit. The nut looks like it shifted in the access hole and appears to be bigger than the access hole...

I recently bought a 2017 MIM P-Bass for a reasonably good price. I started trying some different strings on it which lead me to adjusting the truss rod. When I inserted the hex wrench into the truss rod nut, it felt a little mushy so I stopped immediately. I used a flashlight to check out the...

I took the plunge and sprung for a set to TI flats, and a day into my experience, I have good news and bad news. The Good: they really are all that. The tone on my 73 P is now That Tone. And they're not even broken in yet. So consider me a convert. The Bad: the neck is straight as an arrow...

Hello guys, I need a truss rod nut replacement for my RI 62 Jazz Bass CIJ. I checked on ebay and there are plenty of that pieces for vintage Fender. In my own experience, I realized that japanese instruments has a lot of their own measurement, so I am not sure if an original piece is going to...

Hi, I own a mid to late 80s Fender P-Bass Lyte with a stripped truss rod that’s not stripped in the conventional way, the actual threads on the nut are stripped as opposed to the Allen Key slot. Anyway, my question is, does anyone know what size truss rod nut fender used on these early models? I...

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...

Hello everybody! I'm just starting my foray into the world of lutherie. I decided to buy a bass from an online "Factory Buyout Clearance Sale" from guitarfetish.com. This is a Chinese P bass (Elioth Revolution, not much info online) with what I think is an active/passive preamp and a 3-band EQ...

I recently bought an Epi Thunderbird bass with stripped Truss rod socket. I would like to tighten the rod just a little more but the previous bozo stripped the hex socket and traded it in. The store was unaware as I was when I bought it. I would like to repair it but thought I'd get some...

Help, how can I get this out? It's an American fender deluxe neck.

My late 90's Peavey Foundation truss rod maxes out with the relief at .015", so I attempted to take off the truss rod nut to determine if I could install a few washers and get the relief to .010-.012". The bullet type nut backed off easily but now appears to be spinning in the plastic insert...

I need a couple of washers to get a bit more turn from a truss rod, and could use some help finding a source. The stripped nut came off a Squier Dimension V bass. The replacement nut came off used Squier neck. Truss rod nut is 8 mm in diameter; center threaded hole that threads onto the truss...
