longterm down tuning

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys. Sorry if this is a noobish question, but I recently took my fender p bass special from standard to to C standard beacuse I was jamming on some metal stuff with a guitar playing friend I know. I left the bass over at his house becasue thats where we practice, but i never tuned it back up to standard. This was a few weeks ago, and now my friend is going out of town for a week. Will leaving the bass like that cause the truss rod to get screwed up due to reduction on string tension?

Nope. If the reduced tension changes the action, a 1/8 turn of the rod ought to fix it. My bet is that the action doesn't move at all.
