BC Rich Truss Rod replacment

Here's a USA BC rich bass from the 80s (Yes, the original BC rich). Fretboard has come apart and the truss rod has rusted so badly it looks like it a relic fished out by Jacques Yves Cousteau.

Anyway here are some snap shots of how it went:


Look how badly the truss rod has rusted


A closer look at the rusted truss rod. As the new truss rod is slightly shorter, I filled up the excess length in the old cavity.


The fingerboard is clamped and left to set.




After the clamps are removed, the excess glue is cleaned up and the new truss rod works great. A pity that I forgot to take a pic of the entire bass!
