elom Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I’ve been looking for a neck for a project for a few weeks now and one that looks ideal is on eBay but… “In outwardly good condition but the end of the truss rod is loose and will almost come out the hole. No idea if it’s broken or not, I was unaware when I bought it. Please see pics for overall condition, it will clean up nicely and the neck looks like it will straighten nicely with a functional truss rod.” I’m reading that as it needs a new truss rod. How big a job is that? Makes me think that this £50 neck is not a bargain!

Reggaebass Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I’d steer clear of that one myself, it will probably end up costing more than it’s worth to replace the truss rod, and it’s got binding which makes it more difficult, just my opinion 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
