Truss Rods??

Good Evening all,

Built my first CBG Bass guitar as a Birthday Present.  I used rock hard maple

for the neck. I have never used a Truss Rod.  So far it has held up.

 

Truss Rod or Not?

 

There is a video on my page as well. Used a basic pickup no pre-amp.

  • hi john,

    i'm no expert, but i don't think the purpose of a  truss rod is to prevent bowing. i believe it's meant to allow you straighten the neck after bowing has occurred.
