I've got a real problem now and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a WD jazz bass neck ( double action truss rod maple neck ebony fingerboard ) that is on it's first break in set up after the bass' completion. I took it back to my builder to have him do a fretmill after it had all settled in and during the adjustment the truss rod's threads galled or seized and we could only get maybe a half turn one way or the other. After fighting it for about 30 minutes the end result was the welded on adjuster and a small part of the truss rod behind the anchor snapped off and fell out the back of the neck. It's still under tension with back bow on the neck. What I would like to know is how does one get it out and is there another style of truss rod that can be used in it's place and is this a common problem with that style of truss rod with the welded adjuster?
Thanks for any information you can provide Joe
