Truss rod adjustment at the body end of the neck

[Delberthot]

Kinda feel a bit silly asking this cos i should know but its been so long since I last owned a bass with truss rod adjustment at the body end of the neck.

If I'm looking from the bridge end of the bass towards the neck, do I move the allen key to the left or the right to reduce the amount of forward bow? (I know righty tighty etc but didn't know if it was the same with the truss rod adjustment at the other end)


Its an Ibanez Blazer so I'm assuming that its the same as any other bass with truss rod at the body end of the neck.

Cheers

Its the same as if the rod adjustment was at the headstock.Same rod,same adjustment,just flipped.

It's always clockwise to tighten & anti-clockwise to loosen, no matter which end it's at!!
