PJ-74 VW Vintage Series : Excellent but may have a problem with the truss rod

6 years ago

This is an excellent instrument for the value. However, I feel there may be a problem with the truss rod on mine. I am able to get the neck straight without strings. However, when under string tension, it turns up into a banana. Turning the rod to lessen tension seems to do nothing.

I'm dealing with it for now and probably won't send it back because of the trouble sending it back from the United States though.

I am NOT saying to stay away though. These are great instruments to learn on and learn how to fix/modify. If you're just starting out no need to wreck a $2000 P-Bass. It's just like driving a car, you work your way up.

Thank you.
