adjusting truss rod

[whitestar]

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!

 

[subversion]

for general necks adjustments (guitar/ neck), Beez can do it.

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.

Who is Beez? Heh, sorry!:mrgreen:

I was wondering more to what shop will do it those adjusting.

Plus mine I dare not touch it myself afraid screwing it.

you don't know Beez?!

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

I need to adjust my truss rod too. My neck is a little too bowed but the nut can't be tightened any further, though it can be loosened.

 

[aquanaut]

tighten it...until you hear a menacing 'crack!' then go out and buy a new neck.....hur hur!

 

[shinobi]

i think u mean the rod itself lah, nut means the.. nut. the one with the slots

anyway if you've tightened the truss to the max and still no good, probably your bridge saddle height is not set correctly, our you NUT action is screwed. the former u can fix, the latter u need to bring to a pro.

u need to adjust your bow, action and intonation in tandem when you set up. one will affect all. balancing act

I didn't tighten till there's a 'crack' I just feel right in my hand, and I stop tunning. :lol:

Done that.

And I those crack I heard was the nut, as I've change my strings upside down, and glue it recently.

Somehow looking at the replies, I somehow like regret tunning it. I afraid my neck will give in anytime.

Plus somemore is hard to get a Hofner neck spare part nowadays.

no - send it to fgl to remove the fingerboard and retrieve the broken truss rod bits for chicken briyani as aquanaut always does ...
