Hey guys I just bought a brand new american p bass V today and the truss rod nut is off centered with the pickguard hole at the heel. Is this normal?

As a point of reference, not sure if it's an issue on yours, but my truss rod is dead center with the neck and hole and access route.

I'm not expert enough to help you, but doesn't sound right to me. There are some good folks on here that I'm sure can and will answer your question. Maybe a few pics would help them help you.

Other than that, how do you like your new bass? I've been wanting to hear some owner's opinions, likes and dislikes.

Congrats on your new bass and don't forget some pics. :mrgreen:

I bought my American Standard Precision V 5 (Olympic White) a few weeks ago and after reading the first post of this thread decided to take a look at mine to see if this is going to be an issue with it. I'm glad to report that everything is centered.

I haven't been a Fender guy in decades, but i'm quite impressed with this bass.

After revisiting this topic, I took a closer look at my new (3 wk old) Pbass V and noticed that the bridge was off center to the neck. The result is that the strings are not centered on the neck. All the strings are off about an 1/8 of an inch towards the bottom of the neck. This puts the G string right on the edge of the neck and the low B string inset off the edge of the neck.

The neck dot position markers should line up perfectly with the A string in the middle of the neck, but don't. Someone in the factory in the quality control dept missed this and should never have let the instrument ship.

Now i'm trying to get a replacement Pbass V that's perfect (as it should be) from the dealer that I bought it from. Bummer!
