Peavey! Help!

Post by smallface »

Hi all,
I have a 79 Peavey T40 bass that I want to straighten out the neck on it. I can't find a tool which can access the truss rod to give it a bit of a tweak. Apparently it's a thinwalled 5/16" wrench, but nothing I have will get me near the truss rod. And I can't order one online.

Any ideas?

Peavey calls a Torsion Rod Wrench. As per the pic.
