You are asking Tim what I envision?...lol

All Basses have a single truss rod. This is a doubled rod where one side pulls the other. Same rod since the first Bass made. We did try a few 6s with 2 rods with or without Graphite but we went back with the single rod and 2 bars of graphite.

i see said the blind man, thank's for replying back on this one ken. i thought that that all of your bass model's were the same design in the neck it's just that there so slim and slim, the most confortable neck ever!! my 6m is almost 4'' wide! at the 24th and i'm thinking man what is holding this all together. i just had to peek inside the truss cover and when i saw the allen bolt, and i'm a part time machinist ken and you know something that one little probably unsuspecting,unimportant 1/8th bolt design, to me prove's your commitment and love to the bass both as a musician and master luthier!!.......yes sir there's something about that ''S'' .
