Electric Bass Guitar User’s Manual
DEAR BASS PLAYER!
Thank you for purchasing an electric bass of our production. We are convinced that you have made
a good choice and that your new instrument will help you in developing your musical talent. We would
like to help you in achieving this goal. This is why we would like you to familiarise yourself with a number
of maintenance rules.
Maintenance and operation.
1. Use only good quality strings, preferably from a single set. For bass guitar strings, it is especially
important to choose the correct scale length. Only the sets of strings with the scale length
corresponding to your instrument should be bought.
2. The way you wind the strings around the tuning keys is crucial for the instrument to stay in tune.
Remember to read the chapter explaining this procedure.
3. In order to work correctly, the bridge has to be correctly adjusted . It is the bridge that determines
if the instrument is tuned well. It also determines the overall comfort of playing.
4. Setting up the proper neck relief and the action of the strings is very important to achieve good
comfort of playing. These procedures need to be performed each time the gauge of the strings
is changed.
5. In order for a string to hold its pitch well, its intonation has to be adjusted. A separate chapter
is devoted to this procedure.
6. It is recommended to change the strings after 50-70 hours of operation. After this period most
strings tend to lose their bright sound and stop holding their pitch.
7. It is advised to clean the instrument, particularly the strings, after each period of playing it. Suitable
products are available in good music shops.
8. When transporting the instrument, a gig bag or a hardshell case should be used in order to
prevent damage caused by mechanical shock or the temperature change.
9. A guitar is a delicate instrument. The finish is vulnerable to scratches, fractures and even chipping.
Take good care of your instrument and use it according to the goal it was built for.
10. Protect your instrument from low and high temperature, and also from humidity.
11. Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Do not leave your instrument
close to heating devices, nor in a car on a hot day.
12. Avoid sudden changes of temperature or humidity. In winter, after bringing a chilled instrument
into a heated room, leave it for a few hours in its case, until it has returned to room temperature.
13. Clean the strings and lacquer surfaces with a dry, delicate cotton cloth. For thorough cleaning, use
only specialized products (Guitar Polish and String Cleaner). Instruments with natural finish should
be conserved with special products based on natural oils.
14. Make sure all parts of the instrument are cleaned regularly.
Attention:
Disregard of the above rules may result in loss of warranty.
