Tuning Machine Tension Adjustment - Yamaha Silent Bass SLB200 Owner's Manual

• The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The 1st
string is tuned to G, the 2nd string to D, the 3rd string
to A, and the 4th string to E.
Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch
of each string using the tuning pegs.
• After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece
side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge
is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the strings
and carefully re-align the bridge using both hands.
• If, after tuning, the tailpiece is leaning to one side,
slightly loosen the strings and use both hands to adjust
the tailpiece so its sides are straight and even. After the
tailpiece is adjusted, increase string tension evenly and
retune. (Refer to the illustration shown below.)
Caution
• Make sure that the tail wire is properly posi-
tioned in the grooves on the saddle.
● Tuning machine tension adjustment
The tuning machine's tension that regulates the amount of pres-
sure required to turn the tuners can be adjusted using the sup-
plied Allen wrench.
* If the tuning machine turns with very slight pressure
→ Rotate the adjustment screw to the right (clockwise: A).
* If the tension is tight and the tuning machine is hard to turn
→ Rotate the adjustment screw to the left (counter-clock-
wise: B).
