Stingray 5 Truss rod

[lowdown]

Looking down the neck towards the headstock...
which way to loosen the rod...?
The neck is very flat , and i like a small amount of bow.
wanna be sure before i move it.
Always had rod's adjusted from the headstock end.

Anti-clockwise - same as headstock end.

lefty loosy righty tighty

its the same as when the adjuster is at the headstock end and viewed looking down through the neck towards the body.

I believe Warwick may have(had)some rods that worked in the opposite direction

Warwick did indeed have some 'rods that worked in the opposite direction, ut it was a long time ago IIRC!
I own a 1990 SR 5 fretless, and that is a "lefty loosy, righty tighty".

Apparently, either digital or "rollover" style clocks have been used for so long in some US schools that a lot of kids don't actually understand the concept of "anti-clockwise"

I'd be inclined to believe that.....Stupid yanks.
