  4. The square truss rod hole & hex nut indicates that this is not the neck from a JV. It should be a cross-shaped slot in a snug round hole. I have a non-fender japanese-made neck from brandoni music with a truss rod that looks like this.

  12. What bass is it? Does the truss rod adjust at the headstock end or the body end of the neck? Assuming its an allen key at the headstock end, I'll repeat what itu said above, ie it is of the utmost importance is to ensure you're using the correct tool. A metric allen key that *seems* to fit nicely in an imperial nut (or vice-versa) can damage the nut, rounding the hole making it near-impossible to get it loose without specialist remedial tools. The short allen keys you get with most instruments that look like the ones in poundland aren't up to much and don't give much leverage, so I tend to use long handled versions such as a bondhus t-handle hex drivers (which I believe Fender rebadge and include with some of their instruments). This gives more leverage and makes adjustments much easier. I also label each one with the spec if it isn't stamped into the handle and which instruments I can use it on.

  16. The nylon acts as an insulator, so as there is no electrical contact between the string & the bridge, the grounding you normally get when you touch a string is no longer in effect. I'm surprised no manufacturer has picked up on this and developed strings where the nylon wrap is replaced with a similar but conductive material.
