A thrice-cursed lie of the mind, @MikeC! 
Interesting, my own Google searches using those specific terms - āSpoke Wheel Truss Rod Nutā - generates the same error. Maybe StewMac is having an issue or something?
One more time again
The URL works, but the copy says itās not available for purchase or backorder.
There are others around the globe, though. Hereās another one:
Amazon seems to have them in lots of about ten, so they do exist somewhere.

Huh.
They have them on Amazon too. I donāt understand thoughā¦ if they replace the current truss rod nut by threading on, how do they adjust the truss rod both ways without justā¦ coming off?

StewMac has lots of happy reviews for their spoke wheel nut. You can try calling them about installation.
Today is the first time I bought a bass for the second time.
Hoping my luck is better this time.
For those of you playing along at home, feel free to guess what it will beā¦

May be a bass VI?

A short time ago, I bought a BC Rich Widow that arrived slightly damaged from Sweetwater. I immediately made contact and they said they would send me a new one in October or November and I could play the damaged one until then and return it. I never picked it up, I remained in the bag. In the mean time, I couldnāt get the Mantis green Bongo out of my head. They had a 6 string in Florida that I almost picked up. Then thought about the one Sweetwater had. So, I returned the Rich for a refund and bought the 6 string Mantis Green Bongo! It came yesterday!
Donāt pay any attention to the dog prints in the window or the sleeping orange cat!

This past Sunday, I was weeding the front bed and I put the gnome on the window sill out of the way. I use kind of a flame thrower thing to weed out front. The flower beds are covered with rock, so itās easy, just singe them and they wilt away by the next day (I think my neighbors are sometimes weary of me). I forgot to put him back down when I was done. My wife actually noticed it Monday morning when she opened the drapes! I decided to leave him there for a while. I used to have a Samuel Jackson, Jules from Pulp Fiction gnome but eventually the Florida sun got to him.
