Fret buzz as a beginner

[RonC]

Just look right on top of the bold, then it doesn’t matter if you adjust the trussrod from the headstock or the body, in all cases left/counterclockwise or right/clockwise is correct.

aw shit by now I already followed the diagram and turned clockwise, hope I didn't mess it up and can reverse it without issue

Just turn it back, there’s no harm done.

i always place a mark with a pencil so i always know where i started.

Sorry, I find that highly ambiguous. The arrows are drawn in the same plane as the truss rod and Allen key... so it's possible to interpret those arrows as meaning either direction.

 

If you see it as looking into the end of the truss rod along the allen key, it suggests anti-clockwise as tighten.

Just looking at the diagram on its own I would agree its a bit confusing, although the image looks cut off, but the guy put context to it by saying turn left to right which is correct. 

 

Turning anticlockwise when looking at the truss rod is right to loosen it, as is turning left to right when facing the headstock.

 

Back when I was a beginner many moons ago, if someone said turn the truss rod clockwise or anticlockwise I would have no idea what they were talking about. But see both sides.

A mess???

 

Simple directions. Left to right is as simple as it gets. Clockwise or anticlockwise is more confusing because looking at the bass or headstock face-on, as per the diagram has no meaning., especially to a beginner.

 

Essentially. You have convoluted this thread making it difficult to follow, as you're saying NO, to my directions, which you then agree are correct.

 

The mess is being caused by you, not understanding your left from right.

You are proving with your diagram that has created even more confusion to the OP that you are the one having problems, just see above the mess you've created.

 

I'm really fed up by people like you, unable to explain anything with the correct vocabulary and then pretending others are the culprits.

 

Next time don't interfere with such non sense as the OP was clearly lost and made it to other way round.

 

It's not because I understood your very ambiguous diagram that I agree with all the non sense you wrote.

 

Left is left, right is right and has nothing to do here when the correct words were clockwise and counter (or anti) clockwise, what everyone has been told at school.

 

Period.
