Please help on Modulus Flea neck again !

i just wanted to make the neck have no relief (Straight neck)
i tighten the trussrod many many time, it doesn't move.
and when i tighten it, is kindda not resist my hand, i have to turn it 5 times in a roll to make it a littlebit resist my hand, then when i go up for another round it loosen again, so is like this.

**notice** i turn 5 times in one round because the rod is not resisting, i guess is ok to turn it five time in a roll.

first quarter > Loosen
second quarter > Loosen
third quarter > littlebit resist
forth quarter > littlebit resist
fifth quarter > Loosen

then wait and play it for about 10 min.

and check if is move....notting, but i also heard about a Modulus neck system that only and loosen it. or maybe is
that?

thanks for reading all of this, bless to all TB nice user. :D
 
While looking directly at the truss rod, remember righty righty and Lefty loosley. If you're telling me that's what you did, then your truss-rod is probably broken. There's no way you could make 5 revolutions on the truss rod, and have no movement in he neck. Unless its broken.
 
Problem should be somewhere within the collective of these:
-- piece of crap/quality problems
-- stripped-out threads
-- could use a professional setup.
That's my start.

have no idea where should i start, lol


I'd start by clamping

kinda serious stuff, and for sure it don't have in the place i'm living: (

or graphite neck is hard to adjust? , or maybe it need an extra turn ?.


Are your bridge saddles set ridiculously high?

is pretty low, actually is buzzing little bit if i played deep in the neck.
