Lakland Basses Truss Rods Type?

According to their FAQs page:
FAQs - Lakland Bass Guitars : ‘Truss Rod 
These operations are effected by turning the truss rod adjustment nut clockwise to decrease forward bow, or counter-clockwise, to increase forward bow.’

It seems that the truss rods in Lakland basses are double-action adjustable.

But are those one-way truss rods bent and buried in the necks, like what's in the Fender, Gibson, and MM guitars and basses, or they are just two-way straight truss rods? Some one-way truss rods can also be adjusted in two actions, like Warwick&Framus, and modern Fender guitar models, so I am confused.

and for USA, Shoreline, Skyline, are there differences in the truss rod types?

Reviving this old post. Nobody seems to know?
i emailed them and the reply is:

◆USA: single-way
◆Japan Shoreline: single-way
◆Japan Skyline: unknown but more probably to be dual-way
◆Indonesia & Korea: dual-way

The USA company does not in charge of Lakland Japan which is belong to ESP. I just bought several Shorelines and found it out.
I Also bought a 4460 USA. Someone said that Shoreline made in Japan can be close to a USA one but in my experience that's not true.:roflmao:
