Lex Luthier Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I just got the truss rod for a bass I'm making yesterday from StewMac, along with a few other things. I was looking at the truss rod and was thinking it could be mounted upside-down in the neck, so basically the slot for the adjusting nut wouldn't have to be very deep. Could this be done? I honestly don't see a problem, especially with the way the rod is designed, it would just make the adjustments backwards is all. Feedback please, thanx.

ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 ha ha ha ha that is so freakin funny! i accidentaly installed it this way o the rh1! lol by accident of course. the only thing is the rout is the same depth, and depending on how far out you stick the adjusting nut you may have to carve a little bit out of the back of the truss rod cover. oh and i got the 1/8 " allen kind so i had to use a round file and take a light 32" off the bottom of the nut, in my opinion its easier to intsall it right side up!

Lex Luthier Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 It's going in the neck in the neck joint adjustable position. Maybe I'd need to shave off a bit under the end of the fingerboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
