| Post subject: | Back Bow Help? |
I need some help: 1. I have a neck for a new bass that has ever the slightest amount of back bow in it, after fretting. 2. Typically, I use a double acting truss rod to correct this before fret leveling. 3. I went to 'loosen the truss rod' to straighten the neck and the truss rod nut just came loose - bad weld or something. 4. Is there any way to straighten the neck so I know I will have to add back back to the system after strings are installed, or should I try to yank the rod? Thanks, Stephen |

I don't have experience with the truss rod situation, but have you tried just putting strings on it to see if you get enough neck relief that way? Joe |

It seems if the truss rod has failed, it needs to come out regardless of how straight or bowed the neck is. |
