Ibanez Neck Unstable?

Hi all. I have an Indonesian SR300DX that seems to have an unstable neck. I am now having to adjust the truss rod on it every couple of months or it gets too bowed. I like them fairly flat. I read in a review somewhere that there could be problems with this. Is this something that is going to get worse with time? I don't like having to do it now as it is.

I don't find haveing to adjust a neck every couple of months to be a burden. If it was every couple of days or every week that might get tedious.

used to have an RB 850, years ago, had to adjust the neck every time i played the damn thing, shop took it back in the end. Ibanez had a problem with a small batch of basses if i remember rightly, have you talked to the shop ?

Adjustment to the truss rod every few months doesn't seem unreasonable. Wood moves with changes in temperature and humidity.

Ok, thanks. If it gets worse I will let you know. Maybe it is maybe not. Seems like I had it a year before I ever had to adjust it which was maybe 2 months ago and now it needs it again so i was wondering if there was a problem.
