information on a thumb '88

Honestly he sends me a video because he said it's more easy to show that the bass is ok.And it looks like there no crack on the neck tomorrow I'll go to see and prove this bass.
 
I've bought it.The neck is ok the problem is on the body,what do you think about?it's a big problem?Are they dividing from the neck? IMG_20151020_202638.jpgIMG_20151020_202653.jpg

I know some who wax their Wick every string change, every month, every year... every few years! There is no 'absolute' correct time but generally if you bass is used regularly you'll see/feel when it needs a rub over.
 
Hi I need your help again...changing the strings I see that I can't use a normal key in order to set the truss...I need a different key that i've never seen anywhere,someone knows where I can find it?

I'm not sure where to buy that key, but with a regular key + a bench grinder, you could make one yourself.
 
where i can find it?I can't buy it anywhere? Or I have to do it one by myself?
 
I had an 88 thumb-

ebony FB and EMG PU's all stock. gorgeous unique tone.

I wouldn't worry about the issues-
these basses are handbuilt and tough instruments.
