Which way should I turn my truss rod to make my strings closer to the frets.I have a fender jazz.Thanks for any help.
The truss rod is not used to adjust the action on your bass per se , however if your neck has a concave bow adjusting the neck ( truss rod clockwise ) will bring your strings closer to the fretboard by taking the negative ( if you will ) bow out of it. Adjust action by adjusting your bridge ( saddle pieces ) up and down as you don't want to throw your neck out for a number or reasons. sight your neck relative to your strings ( using them as a straight edge) to determine your course of action yo!
