I still can't believe it but I'm not able to get a 1/4 " truss rod wrench in my town and around. Even a short Internet research shows no effort. O.k. we have a different measurement here in Germany (cm vs. inches) but these two worlds seem to have a distance like galaxies.
So any help (may be from european members) highly appreciated before I have to order one from the mothership.

Thanks

Harald

I ordered one from the Dutch importer, Edwin van Huik (http://www.connectionbult.com/bass/instruments.html). I guess Station Music should have soe in stock too ...

I should add that it wasn't the 'official' truss rod wrench, but it works nonetheless!

Harald; if I can remember on one of my infrequent trips to town, I can pick one up for you at a hardware store.

Dave, thanks a bunch for your advertised help. I was in several hardware stores here without result. I know that another German Alembic player couldn't get one thru Station Music either. So if you're willing to send one, let me know your cost which I'll cover of course. I can wait.

Harald; I finally got in to town today and picked up your wrench. Please email your physical address and phone number to me. Apparently I'm supposed to attach some kind of customs form to the envelope but I haven't figured that part out yet. Does anybody know what I'm supposed to do? My plan was just to wrap the wrench in a piece of paper and stick it in a normal airmail envelope (it's a very small wrench).

I made another trip in to town today. Went by the post office, filled out the green customs form, and mailed off the wrench. Let me know when you get it!
