I recently picked up a 00-01 midnight blue jazz bass in excellent condition except for the truss rod nut and plastic dowel in the truss rod cavity. I know I can replace the nut, but it looks like the guy I got it from chewed on the dowel. Literally.

Since it’s impossible to get a plastic replacement, is it possible to pull the plastic one and replace it with a wooden one like the US ones have? Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I searched around and couldn’t find a definitive answer.

Thanks in advance!

It is a job a guitar tech can be done, can you ? I don't know.
