62 Type Fender Jazz Truss Rod Adjustment

Hi All, hoping you can help me please?

Just picked up a Roadworn Jazz and am really pleased with it, although having given the bass a good look over, feel it would benefit from a set up. I mentioned it to the retailer who didn't seem particularly interested!?

Before setting to it I thought I'd ask the question as I've never had the need to tweak an early neck (with the adjustment at the body end of the bass).

Looking at it I reckon I need to remove the scratchplate and adjust with a flat screwdriver (although the clearance to the body looks really tight) - my question is do I need any specialist tooling and are there any pitfalls to watch out for?

I'm reasonably competent and usually set up all of my basses myself but thought it better to ask first!

Thanks in anticipation - have checked wiki btw and searched the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for.

Cheers, Pete :)

I am no expert but there is some great general info here ithat you probably already know. I have a 62RI neck on one of my jazzes and I just used a screwdriver. Con't know how faithful the RI necks are though tbh.
