DDR Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Is it possible that a Fender bass would have a non standard sized truss rod? I put the alan key i use for other basses and it just falls in without grip as if it’s bigger or smaller… bit confused. Basically are all truss rods the same on any model and does the description above sound like the truss rod is broken? Peace and thank you D Edited August 9 by DDR typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Hi, can you see if it’s been rounded off and have you tried a bigger Allen key 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Not all basses use the same sized allen key, and some are metric and some are imperial. Did the bass come with a key? Someone with more Fender knowledge will be along shortly but in order to help you get the right key, you'll need to let us know what bass it is, where it was made and what year it is. It's possible that the socket is stripped, I hope that's not the case, hopefully it's just a case of using the wrong sized key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 If I am right the sizes of USA and Mex can be different. Imperial vs metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Fender Japan typically use metric dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMoon Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Try appropriate metric size first in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
