    Fender bullet truss rod fixed

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Recently bought a Fender AVRI ‘75 jazz, long drive for it, played ok, needed some adjustment to suit me, deal done

    The neck had too much relief in it, but truss rod was really tight. Only a few weeks earlier I had read in this group about somebody having the same problem, with the same bass they had just recently bought

    A quick search shows this to be a fairly common issue with a well known fix involving washers 

     

    So I took the neck into work, it helps that I run two engineering workshops, one being a machine shop

    Thread size is 10 unf, so got a bush machined with internal diameter to fit that size thread and outer diameter same as ‘the bullet’

    Had a couple made in stainless steel, 3mm and 4.5mm long 

    Back clamped the neck slightly, fitted bush and bullet onto truss rod with a small blob of clear grease, tightened up slightly and left over night 

    The desired effect was achieved, stringing with 40-100, put some relief back in the neck, leaving it exactly where I would have liked it!

     

    Opening up an M4 washer is what people normally do, but when you can do a proper job, it’s worth the effort 

     

    Should of took some photos I know!

    vintage style Jazz basses (and actual vintage)

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by sshorepunk

    I picked up a 2005 75 AVRI at weekend, not weighed it, but feels good to me, estimate it at around 9

    Sounds great 

    really nice neck on a 75, I think a 74 is chunkier, but same width, 

     

    whilst I was looking, I also looked at Japanese 70’s jazz basses, noticed some have correct pick up spacing for 70’s and some don’t, probably depends when made 

     

    a few things to consider when looking at these basses
