Hi everyone,
I've got some issue on my 4 String Old Smoothie,
First time i bought it, it was completely okay, the action was Low, playbility was even all across the fingerboard
After 5 months of playing, the neck become Bow (concave), and the action was not Low anymore and it more difficult to play on the middle of the fingerboard ( 5th fret to 12th fret)
So i Adjust the truss rod, a huge amount of rotation, and its relief but not as good as were played the first time, so i was afraid to add more rotation (still difficult to play on the middle part of the fingerboard)
I had an experience on my Big Al basses, the same problem, and the double action truss rod was borken, sent it back to Ernieball and i was given a Brand New Neck
because of that experience i was afraid to add more further adjustmen on the truss rod, remembering that i've a plenty rotation on the truss rod
Does anyone know or Maybe ernieball can give me explanation about
1. How do we know that Our double action truss rod are on their maximum roatation to give more change on the neck profile?
2. If After a Heavy rotation the Neck just move A bit forward, how to make the truss rod on A zero neutral position, so we can Press the neck so it can be on Zero position the neck and the double action inside the neck (straightenind the neck) so with some tools we can do it like on This Stewmac youtube channel
