Steinberger DB-Tuner Bass Bridge™ Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the patented Steinberger DB-Tuner! A breakthrough for
contemporary bassists, the DB-Tuner system extends the range of the E string.
A flip of the patented DB-lever allows you to de-tune to any pre-set alternate tuning from Eb down
to B, including the popular D. Another flip of the DB lever returns the E string to normal pitch!

HOW TO ADJUST DB-TUNER:

1. Push De-Tuning lever all the way forward (towards the neck) and tune the E string with the
normal tuning knob (located at back end of tuner)
2. Flip-up De-Tuning lever to back position and use de-tuning knob (on top of tuner) to set lower
pitch. Although D is generally preferred, your patented Steinberger DB-Tuner unit will de-tune to
any lower pitch down to low B if desired.
