STAND
Remove the stand from the gig bag. Open and secure the legs
so that the two front legs give the widest possible stance (as
shown). The shorter back leg should be at a slight angle, so that
the main post tilts back slightly.
Remove the instrument from the padded inner bag. Screw the
large thumbscrew at the top of the stand into the threaded insert
on the back of the bass. Adjust as desired, making sure that the
weight of the instrument is centered and stable on the stand.
Note that the stand is designed to be highly adjustable, and
therefore the instrument can be set in various positions,
including horizontal.
Caution: It is possible to set up the stand in an unstable
position. Test the stability by tipping the instrument so that each
leg lifts slightly, and be sure that it returns securely.

PICKUP ADJUSTMENTS
Magnetic pickups (on the CR4M and CR5M) adjust by loosening set screws in the anchor adjacent to the
round coil caps (use 1.5mm hex wrench). Hold at desired height and re-tighten set screw.
Output level for each mode of the Polar (piezo) bridge pickup can be adjusted with small trim pots that are
found on the circuit board in the body cavity, accessible through three small holes in the back plate. Use
a small Phillips screwdriver.

- Page 2 FEATURES BODY AND NECK - The CR Series Upright Bass is crafted of European maple, with a flame maple face. This solid-body design develops a rich multi-dimensional tone free from feedback and other constraints inherent in an acoustic instrument.
- Page 3 POLAR™ PICKUP SYSTEM - The CR Series Upright Bass features the Polar bridge-mounted piezo pickup system. This system can sense either vertical or lateral string vibration. Set in the vertical mode, plucked notes are remarkably even and sustained. In the lateral mode, the pickup has unparalleled sensitivity in the direction of the bow, with more attack when plucked.
