Rickenbacker 4001 bass Truss rod adjustment 

You’re welcome and thank you for the positive comments.

Thanks Mike. Yeah, it really is fairly easy to do.

Thanks chickenlickin, I've heard the newer 4003 basses have only one truss rod and the new bridge design. I gotta figure it's a lot easier to set up.

@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 yes the new bridge is a must.

@@chickenlickin3820 , Rickenbacker made a wise choice updating the bridge.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Thanks Nic. I almost bought the Orange Crush 50 bass amp but went with Fender Rumble 40.

Thank you Tak! Have a great day.

It’s kind of like the spare tire in a car. Thanks for watching Jay.

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble getting a wrench to fit into the truss rod cavity, that seems to be a problem on some Ricks. Look for a small, thin Open End Wrench 1/4 inch and grind down the sides enough to fit over the top of the truss rod nut. Check out "Dave's World of Fun Stuff" and search for his videos on Rickenbacker bass adjustments. He modified a wrench like that to fit the Rick and it works well. Hope that helps and let me know how it goes.

I use a Milwaukee 1/4” nut driver, works great.

@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 I had my luthier modify a wrench for me. It works great!

Hi Poo Ninja, thanks for watching. Actually, this 4001 and my 4003 are solid basses and I usually don't have to adjust the necks. I only did it here to show how a neck adjustment was done on a 4001.

@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 oh ok I was wondering how hard you play to be knocking trusses out 😂. Have a great week Sir

@@PooNinja , Thanks, you too. I'll go easy on the bass and yes it's brutally humid over here!

@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 my dehumidifier is set to 45% and it’s been pulling about a gallon and a half every day so far this spring. I should save that water to put back in the house this winter 😂

@@PooNinja , by mid summer you’ll have enough water for a built in swimming pool.
