Truss rod adjustment
The truss rod runs down the centre of a bass
guitar neck. It can be used to straighten
bowed necks by either lossening or
tightening it.
To see if the neck on your bass guitar has
bowed place a finger on the 1st fret of the
low E string then use your other hand to
press down somewhere around the 15th fret
of the same string. The gap between the
string and the frets should be around a
consistent width of a credit card throughout.
