It still plays , but is borderline buzzy on the very low frets. I'll keep looking for a replacement neck and just enjoy her. Gonna look up mighty mite necks Cheers

Are the Chinese necks ok ?

Either that or split it for parts or spares / repairs and start again

Thanks buddy. But I realise that it's not an economical repair. Will just put it down to a bad deal. Bloody shame though. Will keep fingers crossed and keep searching the usual sites in the hope a cheap neck or project bass comes up.

I fear so. Truss rod not economic to replace on this bass. Not even sure a new (2nd hand) neck is cost effective. Just resigned myself to being duped i suppose

Nope. It looks fairly mashed to me

God I hope you are right. I can see no trace whatsoever of the adjustment, let alone get an Allen key in it. Will give it a go , thanks uddy

Blind as a bat , so can't see how much of the threaded end of the truss is still there. I suspect the guy tightened the hell out of it and snapped most of the thread

Ok buddy. It's a bit fiddly but I'll try . It's missing it's adjustment bolt

Hi all. Slight technical problem here. I recently swapped my cv 70s j bass 5 string for a cv 70s p bass 4 (couldn't get on with 5 string) . The guy must have seen me coming. Went to do a minor adjustment on the truss rod yesterday, no adjustment Allen key tube ! Is this repairable? Or is it a new neck ? I am gutted as I love the bass. If it is a new neck , any suggestions on a cheap but reasonable P or J bass neck ? Obviously the guitar does not warrant £££ spent on it. Any help would be much appreciated Regards Bob

sorry Maude . just seen your post , i have been working away. mine is exactly the same as the pic above, its in mint condition. but yes they are getting rarer . bob

thats the same model as mine

thats the same model as mine

what i can tell is that they were made in japan (eikosha music) they stopped production in circa 2006 and they won Guitar and bass magazine sub £500 bass in 2005. there are many on here that will probably know more about them. all i can say is that i took a punt on it and its perfect in every way .balance , neck , looks ,playability and the range of tones is just staggering. i only own 7 basses , but always end up thudding away on this one over the others. and as mentioned by me before , i can actually go straight for the tone i am looking for now without blindly twiddling thanks to you guys

UPDATE. it's all so clear now. it sounds exactly how i want it to sound when i twiddle knobs.Easy ! i could have worked it out all by myself................erm.......ok , probably not ! thanks once again to you lovely and learned contributors Bob
