How long have you had the bass, and are you the original owner? Has the truss rod wheel worked at adjusting the neck previously?

im not the original owner, its a 2007 but you would not know it......it worked fine up till yesterday when i tried to play it. turned the adjustment and nothing.....i wrote musician but no reply yet.

Give them a call during business hours tomorrow 866-823-2255 they are very helpful on the phone.

Have you tried flexing the neck yet? It's rare but sometimes the truss rod can stick, which makes it appear that the wheel isn't doing anything.

Hmmm. If it was my guitar/bass, I would pull the neck, and then unscrew the truss rod nut all the way off to see what I can see. It's not common, but sometimes the nut ltself can have the "wheel" break off the end, so turning it isn't actually doing anything.

i will try that.. ty

ok took the neck off, tried to flex it a bit and it did nothing. its actually worse now. the wheel moves in and out but no real effect on the neck.......... ebmm quoted me $500 for a new neck!!!!!!!!!!
