US Masters club

Stumbled across this on Marketplace tonight. Never heard of this brand - sure has my interest piqued! It appears to be the same one that was on Reverb a couple years go.

Hi US Masters folks!
I am having an imposter syndrome thing happening for me here, so please help me out :)
so i was not playing my U.S. Masters EP55 for some time and wanted to restring it, clean it and adjust truss rod and all that stuff. show some love to it as i miss the sound :) and then it got me - to adjust the truss rod - is the direction for EP basses standard = clockwise to tightening it, counter to loosen it?
i did this numerus times on this bass and i don't know what happened - totally forgot. of course, i can just test it and see - but i thought it is better to ask first as i am always a bit afraid when fiddling with neck relief..

thanks folks. feel so stupid even writing this :D
 
Acquired this EP-45 in minty fresh condition with OHSC and case candy. The only things I did was new strings, pickup foam, one screw for strap pin and some Deoxit for the pots.

These seem to be harder to find, and to locate one in pristine condition is a rarity. At Guitar Center of all places,….
