Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice concerning this Vintage heel adjustment. I don't know anything about the instrument except that the SN suggests it's Vintage 1994. When I began to adjust this clockwise for tension the bullet rotated freely and wound out of the neck so I tried one rotation and then turned it back. When I turn it counter-clockwise there is immediate resistance. When I rotate the bullet I can hear noise further up the neck. Is the rod turning and does the anchor have a reverse thread? I think the bullet might be frozen on the rod and I'm loosening the thread on the anchor at the head end. Any ideas? Thanks.

I never see a Fender guitar with this kind of truss rod nut at the body.
For bass, I don't know .
I never see a reverse thread on any kind of truss rod.

More pictures and infos of the guitar may help.

Do you have some practice in truss rod adjustment ?

Yes, I thought it was unusual, I cannot find another neck adjustment like this. It has USA on the neck.
