bridge’s back edge (Fig. 3). Rotating this screw counterclockwise moves

the saddle forward (toward the neck), causing the string pitch to raise

(become sharp). Rotating the screw clockwise moves the saddle back-

ward (toward the bridge), causing the string’s pitch to lower (become flat).

The instrument is perfectly intonated when the harmonic at the 12th fret

and the fretted note at the 12th fret are equal in pitch.

Pickups

The pickups on your bass should be set for equal balance of volume

from the neck to the bridge position, as well as from string to string. The

pickups should be set close to the strings for maximum output, but not

so close that the strings contact the pickup surface when played. String

contact with the pickup will mar the surface and send unwanted tran-

sients through your amp, possibly causing damage to it.

Please note:

When adjusting pickup heights, care should be taken not

to overtighten the screws, as damage may occur to the pickup.

Adjusting  the narrow-bar-style pickups (Fig. 4).

With a small

Phillips-head screwdriver, adjust the screws located on either edge of

the pickup to achieve the desired height. Clockwise rotation of the screw

lowers the pickup. Counterclockwise rotation raises the pickup. The machine

screws used to secure the pickups feed into threaded inserts set into the

body. This provides smooth adjustment and prevents the screw from strip-

ping the hole, a common problem when regular wood screws are used.

Adjusting the soapbar-style pickups (Fig. 5 & 6).

To begin, the

mounting of these pickups was designed to eliminate springs and pro-

vide a rigid fix to the body. In this design, two screws on the pickup’s

face pull down while two screws located through two holes in the pickup

push up.

Turning each screw clockwise lowers its side of the pickup, while

turning counterclockwise raises it.
