Truss rod tool for an Exploiter
« on: October 17, 2002, 10:32:22 AM »
I don't have the truss rod adjusting tool that came with my Exploiter once upon a time.  Will a gentle touch and any small 1/4 combination wrench do?
 
Thanks!
Ken

The tool we provide is a 1/4 combo wrench. Craftsman brand will certainly fit, some toolmakers include very wide jaws on the open end which are hard to fit on basses with 2 truss rods.

A joke about this,
 
I was with my bass in Spain and didn't take the adjusting tool. The moment I needed to adjust I just went out to a hardware store and discovered that the  = inch thing is not THAT easy to find in Europe. We have another metric system.
Well ...the playing went a little harder that period.

Thanks, Mica!  Sounds like the one I just bought should work!  
 
Cheers,
