    CHECKING YOUR BASS GUITAR'S SETUP Perform the following steps to check your bass guitar's setup. It should be tuned after each adjustment and before beginning the next step. STRING REPLACEMENT Replace the strings if desired. Refer to the section for details on how to change the strings. Use a capo to fret all the strings at the 1st fret, then fret the strings at the last fret.

    Using a digital guitar tuner, check the tuning of each string when unfretted and when fretted at the harmonic (12th fret). If the tuning is different on any string, that string needs to have the intonation adjusted. HARDTAIL BASS BRIDGE Refer to the section for details on how to adjust the intonation.

  • Page 8: Neck Adjustment

    NECK ADJUSTMENT Caution! Improper truss rod adjustment can result in damage to your instrument, including breaking the neck! Take great care when adjusting the truss rod and make only minor adjustments. If you are unsure of any step, you should have the truss rod adjusted by a professional luthier. The neck is constantly bearing the tension of the strings, and its curvature will be subtly affected not only by the state of tuning and the string gauge, but also by changes in temperature and humidity.

  • Page 9: Hardtail Bass Bridge

    Using the included truss rod wrench, turn the truss rod no more than 1/4 turn in the direction indicated in step 3 above. Repeat the above steps until no further adjustment is necessary. HARDTAIL BASS BRIDGE Replace the strings by feeding the new strings through the holes in the back of the bridge, then feed them over the saddles.
