Hi Mart, got to say i adjusted the truss rods again last night , beginning to feel tight as i adjust them now, the neck is flat as can be and it made a huge difference to sound, i am happy with it now it is beginning to feel part of me, another thing about this bass it records really well!!! getting that ric clank in the sound and a certain growl is sneaking into the sound, i think it is a bass you have to spend time with to get it feeling and sounding right!! i think i am enjoying the bass now, it just takes time, i love the neck, feels great and huge tone from such a light bass , and no noise is good too, lets face it there are not too many in the uk so glad to have one at a great price. cheers
