4. Tune your bass so that the display shows the note name
of the string you are tuning.
5. While watching the screen, tune so that only the center
indicator is lit.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 to tune each string.
* If you are tuning a bass with a vibrato arm, tuning one string
may cause the other strings to drift. If this occurs, first tune
each string approximately so that the note name is displayed,
and then re-tune each string several times.
7. When you have finished tuning, press [TUNER/
BYPASS] or [EXIT].
You can also switch to Tuner mode using pedals.
When you are in Play screen (p. 13), or in Manual Mode
(p. 32), press the [BANK ] and [BANK ] pedals
simultaneously.
Press either the [BANK ] or [BANK ] pedal to return
to the original mode.
