with my 6'er i didn't have to change the nut, but don't remember if i needed to reset the trussrod...i actually got it from a local friend (who is also on LD) and he said he didn't get a new nut (and i agree'd it didn't need it) but i don't recall what he said about the trussrod...either way, its not hard to do yourself, all you need is an allen wrench and the self-confidence to believe that you won't snap the neck! :) anyways no more than a quarter turn per day is what i was told was the rule of thumb, and it worked well for me :) thoeretically this whole project should only cost you the price of a new string (and an allen wrench if you don't have one) Charlie On 5/8/06, Andreas Wetterberg <awetterberg@post.cybercity.dk> wrote: > Exactly, that's pretty much what I meant - I *might* be able to adjust > the truss-rod myself ( I think it's truss-rod*S* on this bass, though), > but narrowing the nut-slots usually means getting a new one put in, > glued and filed, if I recall correctly.
