Metallion Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Where can you find Long Dual-Action (up/down) Truss Rods in 700 (27.6"), 590 (23.2") and 670mm (26.4") lengths? U-rod versions wanted, too. Edited December 29, 2007 by Metallion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TemjinStrife Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Upright electric bass? Long-scale electric bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Upright electric bass? geneally the necks are so huge on them they dont even need truss rods... the things wouldnt be able to move that much wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemjinStrife Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Upright electric bass? geneally the necks are so huge on them they dont even need truss rods... the things wouldnt be able to move that much wood Depends on type of string and several other factors. I play upright bass and cello and let me tell you that my cello could certainly have used a truss rod as the action gets quite high due to neck flexing from the mediumweight strings I use.

Metallion Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 LMI will make you a custom length of any of their truss rods for no extra charge. Really? U-Rods too? 700mm (27.6") is what is expected for a Cirrus neck. 590mm (23.2") for a Aria pro II CSB. These lengths are my guess as they don't sell parts or reveal specs.

If somebody was after a truss rod for a upright bass they had better look at doing a bit more than just making it longer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
