Remember: turnin right tightens the rod and straightens the neck, turning left loosens the rod and lets the string tension bow the neck.
It's just that i want to compensate the string buzz coz i think that my neck is too straight.It buzzes only at the first three frets then everything is ok.
BTW, how does someone adjust the nut?im having a bit of a hard time pressing the first fret coz the nut is too high I think.Thanks for any info!!!

It sounds more likely then that your problem is with the nut and not with the truss rods.
Unless you have an adjustable nut - very few basses do - the only way is to file the nut slots down with a needle file. You have to be careful not to snag the nut though or it could split/crack or parts could come off!!
It's a quick and easy job for any sort of guitar/bass tech, luthier etc.

I tried to move the nut first by taking off all the strings and i thought that nuts are movable types but tragically it was glued tight! . oyur solution is the best next one.I just hope that i can find a decent luthier here. Thanks for the info!!!
