Yes, that is where the truss head is located. Remove the cap and make only slight adjustments when necessary. Clockwise lessens relief, counter clock-wise increases relief. It's best to make this type of adjusment after you have set-up the bass with the strings and gauge you prefer.

Thanks for the responses. I'm actually a bit leary of adjusting the truss rod. I'm considering just taking it into Ken's shop which is only about 1hr away from me.
Thanks again,
Chuck

Yes, if you can do that, that would be best. Did you check out the battery in the pre-amp?

Took it to Ken today. He reset everthing and put on some new strings and it sounds and feels just great. It was also a real honor and pleasure to meet Ken in person and see the shop and some of the new basses. Well worth the trip. Now all I have to do is save up for one of his current models which are absolutely gorgeous.
