The necks on both my basses are pretty warped, so I need them both set up pretty bad, and I do not trust myself to attempt it. one is an ESP C304 with a neck-through, the other is an Ibanez SR506 with a bolt-on. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I don't wanna go to Guitar Center or Daddy's or whatever, end up being bass-less for a few weeks, and pay a fortune for it, but I am however willing to pay someone in either cash or a few cases of beer or something, whatever you prefer. I will probably supply a set of strings myself, and I'm willing to make a decent road trip out of it and drop them off somewhere for a few days.

Anyone interested?

truss rod adjustments are a normal part of instrument upkeep and something you should learn more about.

Blue any idea where I could get information on that?

There's a book called the Guitar Player Repair Guide. It's a great resource, go pick up a copy.

I've been trying to find the link to this amazing site on truss rod adjustment but I can't find it. It's just a good read with a sort-of-scientific look at backbow, etc. You'll find enough info to do what you need. Unless you mean it's warped as in the neck is twisted...then you might be fucked.

Quoted for "ya no shit"

SRSLY, there's like a million good how-to-guides on the net, it really isn't rocket science. Just don't crank it a full turn or anything, easy does it. You'll be fine.
