Basscabman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 2008 Fender MIM 70's re issue Jazz with the bullet type truss rod, anyone know the allen key size for the rod and the control knobs ? Not 3\16 I've tried every key I have no luck! Cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyV Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Imperial sizes maybe. i recently had to buy a set of imperial size keys for the saddle screws on an American string-through bridge. The key for the saddle screws also fits the control knob retaining screws. Couldnt say about the truss rod key but there is a good chance it is the same problem.

ikay Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't have one myself to check but this link suggests a standard bullet trussrod nut needs a 1/8" hex wrench: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-039-70s-Bullet-Guitar-Bass-Truss-Rod-Nut-099-4945-000-/292079262257"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-039-70s-Bullet-Guitar-Bass-Truss-Rod-Nut-099-4945-000-/292079262257[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm pretty sure its a 4mm I had one in a few months back now a 74 avri if I remember right. First I thought it was something wrong like they used a weird nut size. But turned out after much trying an Allen key did fit. I'm sure it was a 4mm. As I was surprised!

Twincam Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Silly me. Indeed I do actually have a 1/8 fender hex. I don't know why I thought it was a 4mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
