How on earth do they get the posiflex rods, and the truss rod mounted in the American Deluxe Jazz one-piece neck (with maple fingerboard).

My '89 Strat Plus has the 'skunk stripe'; which I presume is made when the truss rod is mounted.

But the one-piece AM DLX jazz bass neck has no skunk stripe; and no sign of truss rod hardware at the headstock. Maybe I'm just assuming it's 'one piece' but is really a maple neck with a maple fingerboard glued on after the rods are installed?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Look on the back of the neck when its off the body and down by the 4 anchor holes used to mount the bass to the body there will be a little squarish cut-out and may have a piece of rosewood filling some of it in,if I remember correctely.
But no matter bi-flux or not any truss-rod needs a place to be inserted into the neck,and along with that the 2 graphite wound rods used to stabalize the neck and allow consistant even relief across the whole neck and not just at the weakest point.take off the neck it should reveal its innermost secrets. :idea:
