Default adjusting truss rod

Hey guys, any idea where could I adjust my bass truss rod? I notice the distance between the string and fretboard is getting future. Any idea where or which shop can I get it done? Thanks!

Or you can learn how to do it yourself from the websites on teh intertoobz. Just don't try it on your most precious bass.

you don't know Beez?!

http://soft.com.sg/forum/music-kopi-...quare-2-a.html

call him to make an appointment first, he's really friendly.

a full setup from Beez would cost $45, not including strings.


better to leave fine adjustments like the truss rod to the pros.

Correct.

But I turn the wrong direction, in the first place, noticing no effect, I turn the another way round. Then slowly I see effect take place
