Peavey T-20FL Fretless Bass Guitar - Made in USA! HELP!

[bjeans79]

Came across a nice Peavey T-20FL and shes a beaut'! However, I need to adjust the truss rod and its larger than the Gibson sized adjustment (5/8?). Can anybody point me in the direction of a truss rod adjustment key? Also, there is a tilt adjustment on the back of the neck plate, anyone have experience with these basses??

I appreciate your help!

The tilt adjustment works by slackening the strings, partially slackening the neck anchor screws then rotating the tilt screw to set the pitch angle before retightening the anchor screws. Think of it as an infinitely variable shim.

Thanks, I understood the reasoning behind the adjustment I just haven't done it myself... Any info on the truss rod adjustment wrench? Its definitely larger than a Gibson I tried that.

not sure but you should be able to find something out there that will work. lots of those old peavey things are good instruments just a little off the beaten path
