Allen Key Trouble...

[Josh]

Hey All,

In the middle of making 2 little adjustments to my MTD's, the C string needs to come down a little and the B string on my 535 needs to go up a little, but a 1.5 Allen key dosen't fit either, just wondering if you know what size they need to be and where to get them from?

Thanks,

Josh.

Have you tried an imperial allen key? I had a bridge where the 1.5 key didn't grip too well, I used an imperial key but can't remember what size it was though.

hi Josh,

here's what Mr Tobias told me...

[quote]the truss rod is a 4mm and the bridge is .050[/quote]

From a quick google it looks like .050 is an imperial allen key (1.27mm)

I imagine your bass will be the same.

1/16"? They're always 1/16" Don't buy from B&Q, they are sh*te.

Ah well I just need one for 2 little adjustments, if they break at least I know they're easy to get ahold of.
