2 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Congratulations on your choice of the Yamaha electric bass. With reasonable care, your Yamaha electric bass will age gracefully and provide many years of superlative musical service. * When connecting or disconnecting cables, turn off the ampli- fier and other equipment or reduce the volume.
3 TUNING MACHINE TENSION ADJUSTMENT The tuning machines have spring-loaded mechanisms which automatically take up wear, preventing backlash. However, it is possible to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the machines. Each machine has a tension adjustment screw, as illustrated.
4 SETTING THE STRING ACTION Set one end of the 15cm rule on top of the Final fret with the flat side of the rule against the string and measure the space be- tween the top of the Final fret and bottom of each open string. The recommended height for each string should be as above.
5 INTONATION ADJUSTMENT When the string gauge and/or bridge height is changed, or the truss rod is adjusted, it is usually necessary to reintonate the bridge saddles.
6 PICKUP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT The curvature of the neck should be slightly concave. Clockwise rotation of the nut tightens the rod and corrects for too much concave bow. Counterclockwise rotation of the nut loosens the rod and corrects for too much convex bend.
7 Battery (6LR61 : 9V, S-006P) When these run out, don’t just throw them away, but dispose of them as minor chemical waste. CORRECT USE AND HANDLING OF BATTERIES * When changing batteries, pay close attention to the +/- polarity markings as shown in the illustration above.
