How do I adjust my truss rod?

[TimboSlice87]

Im getting fret buzz and need to adjust my truss rod. I was going to have a tech at GC do it for me but hes not in today. I cant imagine it would be that difficult anyway.

I have a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, but it looks like theres no place to adjust it with an allen wrench (behind the nut) like most fender basses.

P.S. This model is made in Japan.

on snap...its on the other end of the neck...looks like i gotta take off the pickguard.

You would have to remove the guard (about 3 minutes) , leave strings on while doing so, slide under strings/over pickups. I would assume it's an alan wrench adjustment. Not sure which way to turn on the Geddy Lee, just experiment, if it starts bowing more then you've gone the wrong way, go the opposite way. I've always done my necks, never payed to have it done. It is truly easy, just don't strip it and use the correct wrench

looks like its not an allen wrench at all, it needs a phillips head screwdriver!

I'm just cringing at the thought of the damage that might happen...

I thought it might be that kind of end, wasn't sure. I believe it looks like a phillips, but you use a normal screwdriver, I could be wrong. If you don't trust yourself then take it back to GC (or somewhere better)..it's easy
