I don't know what happened with your bass neck. Did you tuned tha bass down before move the truss rod? May be it was just bad build and it was working fine until then.

I had the bass for quite a while and adjusted the truss rod a few times. Then I tried some lighter gauge strings and had some fret buzz on open strings so I loosened the rod (or so I thought) but I couldn't get rid of the buzz so I took the bass to a luthier for a pro set up. He called me the next day to tell me that the truss rod had stripped. Then we started getting warmer weather and the action became a mile high. That's why I sold the body.

And yeah, I always de-tune when I mess with the truss rod or saddles.

Hey, i was thinking what neck shape Musicmaster bass have? I was google on it and found webpages that say neck profile is"C-shape", so that same as Jazz Basses? And Percision basses have "U-shape"?

Sign me up. Bought this on ebay last week for $220, still waiting for it to arrive though. I was gonna order a tort guard from Jeannie pickguards. Any one have any experience with them? Also is anybody using La Bella Mustang Flats for this bass? If so do they sound.

Congrats on the bass. I've bought several pickguards from Jeannie's. Always a perfect fit.
