Once your instrument is properly set up, the only adjustments needed will be the truss
rod and intonation. Always start the tune-up by checking and adjusting the neck first.
STRINGS
Your fretted bass comes equipped with stainless round wound strings. Our fretless
basses come with round wound nickel gauges. Do not attempt to use steel strings on
the fretless models, as they are too harsh on the fingerboard and will sound terrible.
Gauges are as follows:
B E A D G C
.128 .100 .080 .065 .045 .028
Different gauges and types of string vary in the amount of tension they exert on the
neck. Changing gauges or brands may require neck adjustment.
