Well- IF I was in the market for an additional short scale bass

and-IF I focussed on a Gretsch Junior Jet

and-IF I´d ask what sort of truss rod (single or dual) would be in there - JUST IN CASE I´d feel the need to adjust it.

What would be your answer?

 

Forgive my strange and cautious phrasing. My better half might read this as well😉.

Thanks for your understanding.

I'd think it'd be a normal single truss rod, the one in my Gretsch is..

BTW mine is  a Jet type "baritone guitar" with 30" scale and they were originally supplied as a bass Vl but it would as far as I know share a basic body shape and scale with the 4 string Bass version.

I actually preferred a dual truss rod,  since those basses of mine using one seem to be less prone to movements (right now we have a humidity of 75% 🥵)

Coincidence or what is your experience in this case?

Do you mean a double-action truss rod, or dual truss rods (ie. two truss rods side by side)?

Yep that's the same body carcass and scale as the "ex bass Vl" " baritone" the headstock is even the same shape by the looks ( tho the latest version bari has a little skinny HS)

  I'd safely bet that's got the same regular single truss rod arrangement.
