DAAAAAAMN
well now I have another one on my wishlist, if "the one" crops up and you want to move this on, I call dibs

That is indeed what i got, in great shape it seems. The only thing i dont know is if the truss rod is good or not. Sold by an amateur. So that wasnt disclosed.

Fingers crossed.

Dibs for Matt when the time comes…

It is in great shape. It does need a shim though, the bridge is higher than what id like it to be at. Thats easy.

The truss rod. I still dont know if it turns because none of my allen keys seem to fit. The nut is deeper than other ones but I do see a hex head there. But is it stripped? Fuuuck… Not sure the size allen key it takes. The neck is pretty straight though. Still, I need to know.

But yeah looks great. The frets dont have much wear.

So nice!
You can try to tackle the truss with a Torx bit, or use one of these:

Actually - I think someone has lost a hex bit in there. Brightening the image shows a hex-inside-a-hex. If that's right (take more photos with better light?), you might be able to get it out by screwing a long screw into the hole and pulling it out somehow. A little PB Blaster or WD40 would help.

Edit… maybe not…

Im going to take it to a pro to get the nut sorted out… I like the bass enough to do that..
