neck adjustment

I have a warmoth 5 string gecko neck made from wenge and purpleheart strips with graphite stabilizers I built a body for a number of years ago. I am trying to loosen the truss rod to ensure that there is a reasonal gap around the 7th fret (2 index cards thick) between the strings and frets. I...

I wanted to put some fresh strings (GHS Pressurewounds, med/light) on my USA Geddy Lee Jazz... disclaimer: truss rod adjustment at heel. I had medium gauge Pressurewounds on prior, and the relief wasn't exactly to my liking... with a capo on the first fret, and a string depressed at the last...

I recently picked up an old 2000 MIM 5 string Jazz Bass. The action felt a little high and noticed the curve in the neck so i tightened the truss and lowered the saddles. I got the neck straight as an arrow but noticed the action is still kinda high. Is it possible to add an adjustable tilt...

I found a beauty a hama okamoto precision conditioned as never played, just put in the garage for like 4month(god.."in tuned"!!) I bought it and took it home to take some measurements just in case. I found it have slightly more relief under e string than on the g string. Ive checked it with capo...

Hi! I recently bought a used Ibanez btb845v and am having a difficult time achieving reasonably low action without unreasonably loud fret buzz (across strings and from the middle frets to where the neck joins the body; the first and last few frets are buzz free). I have been setting up my own...

Let's say someone (me) left their bass with a broken low E string, so essentially with 3 strings for, 3-4 months, right? Here's the big question - did the neck in any way become warped or anything like that seeing as the tension isn't equal on it? And would it fix itself if I put on new strings...

This is a weird situation but I bought a used left handed bass and they had swapped everything to be right handed(strings, strap hook, nut). I had just finished swapping everything back to left handed and as i was tuning it I couldn't get the strings to sound right. I then realized the neck was...

I have 3 MIA Fender Vintage basses: 1 '61 Jazz, 1 '62 Precision, and 1 '57 Precision. The neck on the '57 is straight as a string, but the other 2 have developed serious bows. The J only has a bow of 3/32" so far, but the P is almost 3/16". I have adjusted the truss rods on both of them as far...

A year or so ago I took my German 5-String Warwick Corvette bass to a technician for general adjustments, including grounding, adjustment of neck, frets, bridge etc. All good, but the truss rod was adjusted as possible but neck still had a bit of an up-bow (strings away from neck). Nothing...

Looking at a franken-bronco build and researching dimensions. Ive seen threads put the neck heel width at 2.289 in, and i just wanted to confirm that number with other builders.

Hi , what might be the length of the truss rod? I guess the truss rod would end approx. at the 12th fret or so? That would effect the neck adjustment either by the rod or the bridge resp. Thanks for your attention :-) Regards
