I purchased a JB in March 2021. I had it set up by a G&L certified tech locally. He did a great job. This last week it got very cold and snowed the past two days. My action on my bass felt all out of whack. So I got out my feeler gages and string height gauge and started measuring the action and relief of the bass. The relief is usually between .010 and .012” it was a lot more than that. So I grabbed my Allen wrench and after detention if the strings I tightened the truss rod a 1/4 of a turn. I then took a measurement and it was a little better, not where I want it but I was taking my time. I tuned it up and played some with it and then put it in its case to rest over night. This morning I measured it and it needed a little not more. So I g
ave it another 1/4 turn and then the truss rod nut gave way and sheared off. Ahhh! It wasn’t tight, I wasn’t muscling it.What are my options? I plan on calling G&L in the morning but figured before I loose sleep I’d ask here if there is any kind of fix that can be done. Ugh!
Thanks in advance. Phin
