Thank you Howard that’s safe advice re; TRC, I think I was being super cautious as to not cause any further damage. Tbf I’ve never used a double truss rod in the past, with that in mind I’m thinking the luthier option would be the safest route. The action is just a tad high.

I found a pup cover ...

Hello everyone, any advice on removing the screw from the trus rod cover? It's an early 73 4001 and a beautiful looking bass so I don't wanna just "go at it". Any recommendations or just take it to a local luthier?

Also slightly off topic but would adding a replacement pick up cover add any value ...
