Fender American Jazz Bass

I'm new to bass guitars, and I was looking into the Fender American Jazz bass on-line. Everything I've read about it doesn't mention a truss rod. All I've seen is that the neck is graphite reinforced with Posiflex graphite neck support rods. Are these adjustable like truss rods? I coudn't imagine it not having truss rods.

Any info. would be appreciated.

    I worked for a store that was a Fender dealer. The American Jazz bass is a sweet playing bass. If I were gonna get one though I would go for the maple neck.

    Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I'm thinking about butterscotch blond with the maple neck.
