The Saber Bass electronics are powered by a rechargeable
NiMH Battery Pack (see section 4.2 Battery Pack Advisory).
The battery pack must have at least a partial charge to begin
playing. The Saber Bass will play for approximately 15 hours
on a full charge.
•
The red Status LED on the top of the low string monolith acts
as a power-on indicator, and as a fuel gauge for the battery
charge. When the LED is well lit, it indicates that there is a
sufficient charge to play the instrument. As the battery reaches
the lower end of its charge capacity, the Status LED will dim,
and when it goes out completely, you have reached the reserve
charge, which lasts about another two hours of play time.
•
In the event that the instrument has not been charged
sufficiently prior to playing, or has run down before the end of a
session, the instrument can be played directly from the charger
unit with no sonic or noise penalty.
•
The 1/4" Output Jack also functions as an on / off switch, so
begin by connecting the instrument to an amplifier using a
conventional guitar cable.
•
If the amplifier features a choice of Active or Passive inputs,
use the Active input.
•
The Saber Bass has unique sonic characteristics, so it is
suggested that you begin with all of the instrument controls
in the flat (center detent) position. You can then experiment
with the many combinations possible, and the interaction
between you the player, the instrument, and your amplifier rig.
The Saber Bass is compatible with all typical bass preamp,
amplifier, and signal processing gear.
