truss rod

hey there, this is my first post. actually my first post in a forum ever. anyway, i have recently purchased a really nice warwick corvette 6-string fretless with bolt-on neck (built in january of 1995) and i am in love with the tone. i have put on strings with slightly higher tension (elixir...

There have been two metal bars in a Warwick bass since 1997 when they started to use single-way truss rods instead of the dual-way. Single-way truss rods do contribute to the sound. And the wood itself is stable enough, the neck will be stable no matter what kind of truss rods are used. Those...

Hi, everyone! I’m new here, and wish I were joining the community under happier circumstances, but to be totally honest, I’m pretty heartbroken at the moment. I just got back from a Luthier here in Victoria, BC, and apparently, the truss rod in my 1993 Dolphin Pro I NT broad neck is more or...

Hi. I just got a Corvette Standard 5 from 1997. The truss rod rattles very clearly when playing some notes or bumping the back of the neck. I tried to do my homework and read a few threads on this, so I know I have a two way rod because it's a 97 and it has the volute. I also read it may be...

So I’m new to this forum and to Warwick. I just bought a GPS Corvette 6 ash, I bought it off reverb new but the store said they bought it from a warehouse or sorts and it’s a 2017. Anyway I got it yesterday and put some new strings on and get a set up that I like. This neck is flat. 1st fret...

So i have a warwick rockbass corvette, i bought it about 5 months ago and i have a problem. My neck is bent slightly backwards and the strings are buzzing like crazy. The truss rod won't loosen, but i am however able to tighten it. Does anyone know what i could do about it or should i take it to...

Hi to all, I own a Warwick Streamer STD 1999 Germany, I bought it second hand like a week ago. The bass is great plus it has an EMG preamp but the truss rod is not working. I red something about the different truss that Warwick has but i can't find any information regarding this specific model...

Hi guys, Is it possible that the truss rod on my ES Signature works at the opposite of what is showed on the manual and on the Framus tutorial video? If I turn the truss rod wrench clockwise it will be loosen instead of tighten :eek: Is this model built in different way? Thanks...

Hi! I've owned a Corvette for about 12 years. I've recently moved to a more humid climate...Oddly enough, I've noticed the bow on the neck has increased. It has a natural oil finish. So here are my questions. Does a more humid climate affect the bow of the neck? Would it help to straighten the...

Hi guys I've got a 2003 Corvette Jazzman with a bit of back bow in the neck. It's been there for quite a while and I can't seem to shift it. The measurements at the 12th and 7th fret are both around .75 mm and I've been slowly turning the truss rod to the right over the past few days and it...

Hi, I have a question so if someone has any answer I'd like that! The question is about my bass's truss rod, the bass is Corvette Standard, 4-string(2007 model made in Germany). and I was wrong I tried to wind the truss rod pretty strongly.. and the nut broke.... so what I need to do is change...

Hey Flo and all! Is it possible to order a stronger truss rod? Bass is a '94 Streamer bolt-on with a sandwiched neck (maple-wenge-maple-wenge-maple). It is really slim and feels great but I can't seem to straighten it out (I like an almost flat neck with minimal relief) even at the tightest...

Hi Have recently bought used corvette 5str $$ 2005 model. Ebay purchase v. cheap and before the inevitable replies about going back to dealers etc. this isn't an option. Bought as seen and seller removed himself from ebay shortly afterward - probably v. stupid. The question is how best to...
