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.

*After playing, wipe the entire guitar down, including strings,

with a good polishing cloth. This will remove corrosive skin

oils and acids, and protect the plating, finish, and strings.

*Avoid exposing the guitar to direct sunlight and extremes of

heat and humidity.

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.

Clockwise rotation tightens the machine. The tuning machines

should be adjusted to the extent that they are firm, but can turn

smoothly. This adjustment is normally unnecessary, and exces-

sive tightening can lead to premature tuning machine wear.

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.

Individual height adjustments for each string are provided in the

form of two set screws on each saddle. Clockwise rotation

raises saddle height and counter-clockwise lowers the saddle.

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. If the bass plays out of tune in the higher

registers, this adjustment is needed. Check each string in the

following way:

To check intonation, compare the harmonic tone (12th fret) to

the fretted tone (12th fret). Because the 12th fret is the midway

point between the nut and the bridge, a harmonic tone one

octave higher than the fretted tone can be generated. This is

done by barely touching the string directly above the 12th fret

(left hand) and simultaneously plucking the same string (right

hand). If the fretted tone is exactly the same pitch as the har-

monic tone, no adjustments to the bridge saddles are neces-

sary. However, if the fretted tone is higher in pitch (sharp) or

lower in pitch (flat) than the harmonic tone, apply the appropri-

ate adjustment as shown below. Repeat the same procedure for

each string.

If the fretted note is pitched higher than the harmonic, turn the

corresponding saddle adjustment screw clockwise, increasing

the active string length.

Conversely, if the fretted note is pitched lower than the har-

monic, turn the corresponding saddle adjustment screw counter-

clockwise, reducing the active string length.

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. Make

any adjustments gradually. Allow five to ten minutes for setting,

and check the curvature after each 1/2 turn of the truss rod nut.

Proper pickup adjustment ensures maximum output level and

uniform response on all strings. To make adjustments, follow the

directions below:

Using your left hand, depress each string at the last fret, while

setting one end of the 15cm rule on top of the pickup section

directly under each string. The flat side of the rule should be

against the string. The space between the bottom of each string

and the top of the corresponding pickup section should be 2mm.

NOTE:Unless you have experience with truss rods, we sug-

gest that you entrust this adjustment to your dealer.

When these run out, don’t just

throw them away, but dispose of

them as minor chemical waste.
