Fender truss rod replacement.

[DarkHeart]

I`ve just got hold of a Fender Vintera Jazz in a trade which has a sheared off truss rod nut, is it worth getting someone to replace the rod or just buy a new neck? Bass itself is mint condition and basically cost me next to nothing!

If you decide to do it yourself it is surprising how easy it is. However, it's also surprising how easy it is for something utterly unexpected to go horribly wrong. However if you're planning on replacing the neck anyway, I say give it a go!

I'd be inclined to look at getting the truss rod sorted first and see what the cost is likely to be compared to a new neck.

Stewmac do a tool for sorting out stripped truss rods but unlikely to be of use if yours has sheared.
