Temp/humidity vs truss rod...

Okay, good test for the stingray's neck coming up...

I tweaked it a couple of nights ago after saying that I hadn't adjusted the truss rod for months. It's been 90-100% Humidity for the most part for the last week. Summer has finally arrived.

No discernable difference.

Mind you, the bass was indoors all this time and may not have experienced the outdoor humidity.

So far so good, eh? Will you be having the bass outdoors for a good amount of time anytime soon?

Nope. But this all might be a bit of a red herring.

Thinking about it, changes of this magnitude in outdoor humidity will have only a marginal effect on the neck. The real issue would be taking the instrument between places that have air conditioning and those that don't. Like going from a heated, air-conditioned rehearsal studio to playing outdoors on a cold foggy day...

Welll my luck has been every time I have played my new SR 5 in some barn or garage it has rained and felt like I was playing outside. Neck on my SR 5 has stayed just as it was the day I set it up after the TI flats. I guess I need to experience some desert playing of mine to know for sure all the aspects of it.

I sure don't see any difference in the MM bass neck moving than any other bass I have had around. Which btw has always been Fender's.
