Clamps Knobs
Fender Jazz Bass with warped neck… BAD. need lots of work, and I need help.?
Hello Everybody,
I just bought a Fender Jazz Bass really cheap. I’m excited to fix it up really nice. The things a piece of shit right now but it’s gonna be NICE when its done. First thing that needs work is the neck. Its really bad. I can bend it back a full inch. I tried messing around with the “truss rod” thing but I have no idea what i’m doing. Should I clamp it down with C-clamps overnight? Can I fix it or can i just get a better neck?
Also, I’m planning on customizing every aspect of this guitar. Anyone know where I can get some cool knobs, toggle switch, keys, and pickups? I’m looking for something not too expensive but I don’t want just cheap stuff, if you know what I mean…
Thanks so much for your help!
Congrats on the new bass!!!! Dont touch that truss rod!!!! If you break that rod you will have given that neck the kiss of death. If you dont know how to adjust a truss rod then you most likely dont know if a neck is warped or not. A bass neck bends a little bit and this is normal. The truss rod is used to control this bend of the neck. A warped neck is when the neck starts to contort, like if you were twisting it. If it is warped it will need to be refretted. Check out frets.com for further info. Dont play with the truss rod unless you know what you are doing.
I would strongly suggest that you look into installing a Leo Quan Badass bridge on your bass. They are not to expensive and will add some structural/acoustic improvement.
