Baby, Don't Fear the Truss Rod
Checking and adjusting the truss rod for proper neck relief is a fundamental part of setting up a guitar. However, it can be a bit intimidating to those who have never done it. If you are a first-timer, take heart: it’s really not that hard, and this article aims to take the terror out of it.

That's a good article. I've adjusted a neck or two but the first time was somewhat intimidating. I never did it with a capo but that's a cool trick.

Thanks dudes. They beat me up a little on FB for posting the above picture in the article. They were right: you should only check the relief when the guitar is in playing position. In my defense, I did specifically say in the article to hold it in playing position, but not everyone....you know....reads.


So, I changed the picture:

I put in a post recently asking for the truss rod wrench type and size for a 4 string P Bass Warmoth neck. So far no one has contributed. Perhaps you can help ?

Pretty sure it's a standard hex Allen key/wrench - you may need one with a long 'reach'.  I couldn't tell you the size for sure because I'd just find the one that fits when I needed it. (Plus, if you just bought a new Warmoth neck, there should have been one included.)

W sell their truss rods with a choice of 5mm or 5/32" nuts, so it'll be one or the other.

Quickest path to help on that is to email sales@warmoth.com. Those guys are the experts when it comes to size, dimensions, and compatibility.
