I'd like to join the party :) Got an RBX170 Black circa 2008-9 I think. Can't remember exactly when I bought it. I'm a drummer really but thought I'd like to get in to songwriting or at least know what the guitarists and bassists were on about! Stopped learning unfortuately and it has sat in a...

Took your advice and not going to touch the Truss Rod at all now. Just wondered if the Rod nut should be wedged tight against the wood underneath it and if that was what made it so difficult to turn?

Just so that I'm not making a rookie mistake, in pic 1, I have the nut correctly identified? Also, I pushed it further in towards the fretboard but there is still a small gap showing. It was a good 2mm gap before. In pic 2, I've marked where the Truss Rod Nut is tight against the wood. Seems...

Edinburgh for the Festival?

Many thanks Malcolm35, I'll check these out. Now finding that I'm getting massive fret buzz but it's been sitting in a cold winter, then warm summer room for a good while. Tried a small adjustment of the truss rod but it won't move in any direction. Searching the forum as we speak!

Hi all, Have a Yamaha RBX170 that I bought years ago and never really got round to learning. I'm a drummer really so liked the idea of learning bass. Picked it back up and now starting lessons so here I am :)
