BONGO bass Intro- 9 -
The remainder of the assembly instruction is divided into four sections:
Section 2
– Mockup & Fit check: in this section, all components will be checked for proper
alignment and ensure that all holes have been drilled.
Section 3
– Finishing the Body and Neck: after fit check, the components are removed from the
neck & body to allow the selected finish to be applied. This will allow you to customize your guitars’
color(s). As the finishing will likely require several coats with sanding between each coat, ensure that
the finish is completely dry.
Section 4
– Assembly: the final assembly is the next step - once the finish has been applied and
completely dried. In this section, all of the components are installed, internal wiring connected and
strings attached – your guitar will ready to go!
Section 5
– Setup: in this section, initial adjustments are made to your guitar, such as the height
of the pickups.
