3.1 Neck and Action Adjustments

Your bass is equipped with a truss rod for neck adjustments.
Always perform this adjustment before proceeding to set up the
playing action and the LightWave Pickup System.
unfamiliar with truss rods and instrument setup, please consult a
reputable guitar tech.

3.2 Saddle Adjustment

Closeup Showing Monolith Detail
Each string has a saddle height adjustment screw, located in the
string saddle in the monolithic bridge assembly. Turning the screw
clockwise raises the saddle; turning counterclockwise lowers it.
Use a .050" hex driver for adjustment. The action can be adjusted
while the strings are under tension.
Adjusting the saddle height or changing string gauges typically
requires realigning the optics (see 3.4 Optics Alignment).
Exchanging a fresh set of identical strings (the same gauge and
brand) should not require realigning the optics.
