Doubt on a Fender PB 57 RI truss rod

Hi there,

I’m not very comfortable with the truss rod thing, so I need some wise advise :)
My bass is a Fender PB ’57 reissue (Japan) and the neck is far too curved.
I already made a try, and turned the screw clockwise with a phillips screwdriver, at the end of the neck where the screw of the truss rod is. And it didn’t seem to work. Maybe it got the thing even worse, I’m not sure (did I already say I’m not feeling comfortable with truss rods?).

So, does someone know if the truss rod on that specific bass has to be adjusted a different way than the majority, I mean, in this case, do I have to turn the screw counterclockwise in order to straighten the neck?

Thx for your help!

seems you are turning it the right way...clockwise looking on the end of the screw..any end of the neck should flatten
didnt know a phillips screwdriver did the trick
are you sure its turning ok...thought it would be an allen key
