Recommended Posts

Hi, I need to get a 1/4 hex box truss rod tool as soon as possible. I have been searching around locally and google shopping etc but have drawn up a blank. I also visited a local luthier but he couldn't help. I was wondering if any kind basschatters could help by either selling or loaning me one for a few days. Anyway just to show they do exist there are some here ob US ebay

Any help would be much appreciated.

Some simple Allen keys will work for trussrods. I used one on my Ritter yesterday when I changed to a lighter gauge of strings and then realised I'd left my truss rod tool at the 'office' :)

I wouldn't recommend this as a permanent solution but, knowing you want one quickly, it might help.

Just need to make sure you buy an imperial set and not metric to be sure of a tight fit.

Either a large diy store or a decent car tools shop might have imperial keys :)

Good thought, I thought about that "make you own precision truss rod tool approach" but failed to find a socket in my gianormous odd shaped socket box that would fit. Hopefully the magic"tool" will arrive tomorrow!
