bassmachine2112 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey ,hey jazz bass on steroids,those super ferrites are good. Truss rod nut is brass and the rod is steel. A small dab of light oil,then a little lighter fluid to run the oil down the thread.,apply every 2 hours about 3 or 4 times-leave overnight ,try in the morning. Should free off,although it could take a few days,usually not,run the nut up the rod a few mm,s so there is a small cavity and put a small drop of the light oil in and let it seep down the thread and adjust away. If they are resisting after a few days-heat up a 5/16 socket and put it on the nut and wait a few minutes for the heat to go into the nut and try it. Remember to use very small amounts of penetrant as it will seep into the wood of the neck. If in doubt get a good guitar tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmachine2112 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 That,s 3 gigs down this weekend so far and another today coming up and it,s thumbs up for the Foundation.Nothing but positive comments all round. Not only does it sound amazing ,it plays like a dream.They have beautiful necks to play,balance well and have aged very well which just shows that they were very well built with good quality components and materials. If you haven,t tried one your in for a very pleasant surprise. Foundations are the mutts nuts and sound fabulous through an Orange rig. I,ve had a bit of a mutiny in the bass dept,the others are telling me their going on strike-jealous lot.They better get their act together or they will get sacked. Go on stick yer piccies of your Foundations on-old rules-no pics ,no bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
