However now I'm presented with the fact that I know it's a single acting truss rod and I will never feel right. Lmao OH, THE PLIGHT!

Don't bring out the pitchforks or anything, but I clamped it outside in the 90° sun for 2 hours. It went to a pretty severe back bow but nothing serious so I just screwed the nut back on and am slowly getting it back to perfect relief. Basically just forced it from one extreme to the other. Not...

The guy I got it from bought it in '98, so I'm going to assume that they replaced it with a single acting rod, because I don't see anyone with any common sense replacing a double acting with a single acting, or even replacing a single acting with a single acting. My rule of thumb is if I can get...

That sounds like a lot of work and this is a Pedulla so I'm willing to pay whatever it costs if I'm not able to get it to do what I want it to do within a week. I'll try slight heat first. Thank you for the link,Thank you for your response, and most of all, Thank you for reading the entire...

I don't have a straight edge, and it's a single action. The nut loosened completely off the rod. I put it back on and tightened it just until it started to grab and started the dowel process. The strings were touching up to the third fret and then starts freeing up. I'm hoping the person before...

No it's single action. The nut loosened off the rod.

Strings are still touching the frets. My bad on that one.

It's definitely a single action because the nut has loosened off.

How would I go about doing that? I'm even worse with technology than I am with guitars. Lol.

Btw, it had a shim in the neck. Wouldn't that be counterintuitive or am I entirely misunderstanding the physics of wood under tension?

I have a 5-string bass that has upbow to the point that the truss rod is completely loose and the strings are still touching the first 7 frets. I tried clamping it down in the middle with the fretboard up (maybe clamping it upside down with like a stack of paper under the middle?) I currently...

I sold a de7 like 10 years ago for $25 and I regretted it. I started playing bass in a band recently and the guitar player gave me a PD7 that I have absolutely fallen in love with. 4 cabled with an NS-2 and you can run it into anything!

Thanks, all. I fixed it. Had it wired like a Bourne's when it was a Bartolini. Apparently the lug orientation is backwards.

The neck is flush with the body and and the bridge is barely under the strings and there is still a huge difference in volume as well as what sounds like a half signal.

Right now the neck is lowered flush with the body and the bridge is almost at the strings and there is still a considerable difference, plus it still sounds like half signal with it raised that much, even.
