Sorry for the delay in the update. 😅
Everything finally turned out well. I was able to remove the truss rod relatively easily. I clamped the neck to make the truss rod channel as straight as possible, and with a few taps from the other end, it came out. I had a new truss rod made, installed it, crafted a new piece out of maple, added a bit of color to the wood to match the rest of the neck, and then used CA glue to level it with the lacquer.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the feedback 🙌. Yeah I think I’m going to thinks about getting the trus rod rescue kit. Again, sorry if I insist on this, but living in Argentina is not easy to have access to that kind of tools, they are really expensive for our economy right now. But probably in a couple of months.

For this one I decide to try the heel approach! Haha

I have been working on a couple of Fender and Squier basses in which the point at which the truss rod began to operate was when I had already turned it several times and by the time I reached the end of the thread the neck still had too much relief. In several of these cases I only added a supplement similar to the one that comes with the truss rod rescue (off-set spacer), generally made of bronze. and with that the truss rod started working sooner and the neck reached the desired relief. I left them for a couple of days to see if they maintained that curvature or if they moved again.

When the neck move again if the neck is worth it I took a more drastic approach hahaha 🫠

Moma reparaciones on Instagram: "Un par de problemas con este fender…. El punto de acción del tensor estaba muchoo más abajo de lo normal (llegando al primer traste), la madera del mango se comprimía con mucha facilidad, pasaron completamente de vueltas la bala y la misma empezó a romper el diapasón. 🫤… La acción del bajo en el traste 12 estaba en 3,5mm en la 4ta y no se podía bajar. Salió a 2,5mm 🤓 y se podría seguir bajando. . . . . . . . . . #buenosaires #argentina #chacarita #recoleta #guitarra #bajo #musica #reparacion #calibracion #arte #oficio #lutheria #guitar #loother #loothing #bass #fender #b52s #instamusic #musicaddict #instagram #intagramreels"
