Lightship37 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Good afternoon from sunny South Wales UK. I recently purchased an Olympia ob-3ce acoustic bass (Indonesian built). Regretablly the headstock truss rod cover is missing. I have searched google for a relpacement without success. Any ideas where I could get one? Several online articles refer to them being made from fibrebaord which i have found online so it maybe time to get the scissors out and make my own!!!! Gratefull for any advice or signposting to a supplier. Thank you in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 You could make one by laminating a piece of paper and then cut it to size. If you're a dab hand with computer art or freehand drawing then so much the better. No-one has ever noticed that the "Norris" truss rod cover on my Rickenbacker is just laminated paper. I used the original screws to hold it in place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Did a quick Google, it should look like this: Looks like it's plastic, as most TRCs are, shape mimics the headstock. Should be straightforward enough to make one from a bit of 2mm (ish) plastic. Never seen one of these basses before, nice-looking thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 If you google "Tacoma truss rod cover" you'll find a few options - Olympia is the budget Tacoma brand. These look the nicest! http://www.wecinlay.com/truss_rod_tacoma.php I used to have one of those Olympia ABGs - lovely bit of wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
