Anleitung Zusammenfassung
The soft case is meant for storing and transportation of the instrument and protects it from dust, etc. Do not place the bridge so it is on the bottom of the case and do not cause damage to the instrument by placing objects on top of the case, hitting it, etc. ¦ Changing Strings As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old. Make sure you purchase Double Bass strings. The Silent Bass uses a string length of 1,040 mm (41 inch). •All strings should not be removed at the same time. Make sure strings are changed one at a time. • The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings. •When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may sud- denly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries. . Winding the Strings 1 Hook the string’s ball end into the string hole on the tailpiece. Make sure that the ball end is securely positioned in the end of the string hole slit. * If the ball end is larger than the string hole, thread the opposite end of the string through the hole from the back side of the tailpiece. 2 Pull the string down toward the end pin and wrap the string around the end of the tailpiece making sure it fits into its corresponding groove at the bottom of the tailpiece. Pull the string up and over the bridge. String Ball End Ball End Tailpiece 3 Insert the end of the string into the hole on the peg, turn the peg and make one or two wraps to one side of the hole as shown in the illustration below, then make the remaining wraps in the opposite direction. When looking at the front of the instrument, the first couple of wraps on the 1st (G) and 2nd (D) strings should be to the left of the hole, where as on the 3rd (A) and 4th (E) strings, the first wraps should be made to the right. • Adjust string length so that the string does not rub up against the peg box wall. Tuning the string if it is in contact with the peg box wall can result in a broken string, etc. Rotate the tuning peg as shown Rotate the tuning peg as shown 1st string (G) 4th string (E) 2nd string (D) 3rd string (A) Winding the 3rd and 4th strings Winding the 1st and 2nd strings Wind once or twice Remain- ing winds Remain- ing winds Wind once or twice Make sure the bridge is at a right angle. Also, make sure each of the strings are positioned in their corresponding grooves. *Make sure the side of the bridge facing the tailpiece is vertical when compared to the surface on which the bridge stands. 4 Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs. * Refer to the “Tuning” section (page 7). •When the instrument is not being used for an extended period of time, loosen the strings. • The instrument can be played after making sure that the bridge is standing vertically when compared to the surface on which the bridge stands. Playing the instrument with a leaning bridge can result in a shorter bridge life, or poor sound quality. Right angle Body Correct Tailpiece Bad Bad ¦ About the Mute Since the Silent Bass is designed with a pickup system that picks up string vibration, the system can sometimes pick up string vibrations that occur between the bridge and tailpiece. If this is obvious, attach the supplied mute onto the strings as shown in the illustration below. • The mute will have little effect if it is attached midway between the bridge and the tailpiece. Please take note. Mute Mute ¦ Attaching the Optional Accessories [Fig. A] . Knee Support for the Silent Bass (BKS2) With the optional BKS2 Knee Support, the instrument can be leaned against the left knee when playing while sitting on a stool, etc. As shown in Fig. A, align the end of the metal frame unit with the matching indentation on the knee support, and use the three screws to secure the support in place. BKS2 .Extension Frame for the Silent Bass (BEF2) The optional BEF2 Extension Frame widens the frame unit to provide greater instrument support. As shown in Fig. B, use the two screws to secure the support in place. • Before attaching or removing optional parts, remove the frame unit from the instrument and place the frame on a stable surface. •Before playing the instrument, make sure that the optional parts are not loosely attached. [Fig. B] BEF2 Power Supply The Silent Bass uses a battery as its power source. Before installing or removing the battery, remove the cable from the output jack. 1 On the backside of the instrument, push down on the battery case’s latch below the “OPEN” arrow to remove the battery case. • Be careful when removing the battery case. Depending upon the angle of the instrument, the case can suddenly jump out. 2 Insert the supplied battery (6F22(S-006P)9V battery) into the case. Referring to the illustration below, make sure that the battery is placed in the case with its poles (+/-) properly aligned. 3 Push t...
