Help me!!! Action adjustment advice


Recommended Posts

Hi all good people.
I have recently purchased one of these, and for me the action is set a little high for my liking.
On this model i haven't got a clue how to fix this.
Do i have to take the neck off, and what do i do with the badass bridge etc?

I really do like the action to be quite low, but i don't feel comfortable gigging with this until it's right.

Thanks in advance

Ben

So will simply adjusting the badass with an allen key be enough to bring the action down with no fret buzz.
Just i hear with these basses adjusting the truss rod is a bit of pain in the proverbial.

I bought a key when I had mine (never got around to using it though!). The Ged doesn't come with one from Fender.

It took quite a bit of finding, as it's quite an unusual size needed for the Badass.

I think it was 0.5 or something? I may have even asked about the size needed in another section of BC at the time.

I have found a set of keys here, but forgive me if i am beinga tool but i can't see anywhere to use the allen key on the badass II. All i can see is scredriver jobbies at the back of it and actually on it.
I may attempt tweaking the truss rod tonight. To make the action lower do you turn it clockwise or anti clockwise?
