Truss rod washers?

[JJMotown]

There's several threads here about truss rods getting maxed out, which got me thinking I'm sure someone here could make them. No doubt they'd be a fairly good demand, as they're almost impossible to find/buy.

 

Is there anyone here with the tools to make a batch? Or anyone here with some spare washers as I'm looking for some as the truss rod on my bass is maxed out?

It can be tricky finding washers with the right inner diameter and a small enough outer diameter to fit in the hole. The size you need will depend on the type of bass/trussrod you have. If it's a Fender type then these should work - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326130182103

I've been talking to the renowned John Shuker on this very subject.

 

Washers are available I believe, in various thicknesses. He's going to fit one to one of my basses just as soon as I get around to getting it to him.

 

The bass in question, has a truss rod nut which is recessed about 5mm from the end of the neck. The addition of a 5mm shim, will bring the nut back flush with the end of the neck, and provide additional adjustment where necessary.

Thanks, yes for a Fender.
