Adjusting The Sensitivity Of Each String; Naming Your Settings; Adjusting The Contrast Of The Screen - Roland V-Bass Owner's Manual

Adjusting the sensitivity of each string

Adjust the pickup sensitivity for each string according to
how the divided pickup is attached.
* If you want to use more than one bass to play the V-Bass, you
must make sensitivity settings for the divided pickup of each
bass. For each bass, turn off the power of the V-Bass, re-
connect the bass, and then perform the following procedure.
You can make and store settings for up to five basses.
* These settings must be made after you newly install a divided
pickup on a bass, or after you adjust the height of a divided
pickup. Once you have made these settings correctly, they will
be maintained even when you turn off the power. It is not
necessary to re-make these settings each time you perform.
