Truss rod 'minned out' - opposite of 'maxed out'...

Ok, so I've got a really nice Lakland neck, but it's got a back-bow which I'm struggling with. The Big Plan is to make it into a Fenderbird, but first I need to deal with the bow. I've fixed it onto a piece of wood, together with a bridge and strung it up, but even with the the rod slackened off completely, the bow is just about gone with a set of strings tuned up (to F# - B - E - A) to increase the tension. At normal tuning and tension, with the truss rod loose, the strings don't pull the neck even straight, let alone produce any relief.

Does anyone know of anything else I can do to get the bow out of it? Can it be rebuilt? It'd be a shame to write it off, because it really is a nice neck.

Cheers,

Muzz
