Pow_22 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 ive recently been converted to flats and restrung my bison with Roto flats from my old faves DR Fatbeams. Both are the same guage but now the action at the body end of the neck appears quite high. The truss rod on a bison is a bit strange in that i have to remove the neck to do it. Meaning that technically i would have to adjust, then re-fit the neck just to see if ive done what i wanted. Now im pretty tempted to just take it to tech but after 20 years of bass playin i thought its time i got over my truss rod fear. As the action has gone high at the neck end im assuming i need to TIGHTEN the rod as opposed to LOSSENING? If so im just going to take the neck off and give it a tiny turn and then re-fit it. It played superbly before my string change so im assuming its just a mini adjustment and not a full set-up issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 To remove excess relief in the neck you tighten the truss rod, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
