streamer stage 88 truss rod

[seb]

Hello,
im not sure if this is the right place to post this, anyway i want to find out what truss rod tool do i need for my warwick streamer88 , it seems that the modern ones dont fit.
Thanks

I don't have one in front of me but it is just a standard size (6mm sounds about right but I'd need to confirm that)! I'd suggest that someone has been using either the incorrect size or they've been using cheap allen keys and chewed up the socket. One thing to consider is that it isn't inconceivable that your rod operates in the reverse to the norm (I've owned several basses inc' one in my position now that are 'reversed') and right is to loosen the truss rod; just go slowly and check in case!

yes, it looks like someone used it wrong, anyway can i find a key in a tool shop or do i need to order one from warwick?
cheers

No need to order a special tool from Warwick, any good quality allen key 'of the correct size' will do the job. You can buy a set of 10 various sized keys for less than it would cost you for the Warwick tool or alternatively just get the one key of a pro quality like 'Snap-On' and it'll last you a life time.
