I'll try to organize a 1/8th inch wrench and try it again. However if it does not work anymore I'll ship my bass to you.

For the matter I consider a refinishing/restauration of the bass. Do you offer such services ?

Thank you for support.

Yes, but all business should be done via company email and not here on the Forum. As far as the correct wrench goes, we have this information published on the FAQ page for well over 10 years now; http://www.kensmithbasses.com/faq.html

  1. 1/8" wrench for the truss rod (included)
  2. 3mm wrench for Soapbar pickups with pole pieces
    (DO NOT USE THIS WRENCH FOR THE TRUSS ROD)
A bit too late now for your Bass but it's good for others to see this if not already known.
