    My brother in law wants to play his Squire Precission Bass, but it is missing the bolt that is used to adjust the truss rod. I think its a bolt. It looks like whatever is missing should be several inches long. Does anyone know where to direct me to to get a replacement part?

    Hmm, never heard of a truss rod "bolt" and there's no removable part of a truss rod that's several inches long.

    Could you possibly be talking about a wrench? A wrench is a few inches long, and would be used to adjust the truss rod, so that fits your description. I've never worked on a Squire P-bass, so maybe somebody can weigh in here and say what kind of wrench a Squire truss rod needs.

    No, I'm not talking about a tool. I'm talking about something that's missing that's not there. There's supposed to be a hex nut for me to adjust the overly relieved, bowed neck.

    It's a truss rod NUT.

    You'll need to know the thread pitch, before you can buy one.
