Anleitung Zusammenfassung
Failure to routinely clean and lubricate the metal parts of your instrument, including strings, may result in rusting. WARNING: Peavey recommends that you do not use abrasives or solvents on your instrument. Storage & Travel Your bass is a piece of art that must be protected. When you are traveling with your instrument, loosen the tuning knobs a turn or two to take pressure off the neck, and protect it with a gig bag or case. While a gig bag offers some protection, mainly from dust, a hardshell case offers the best protection. If you plan to store your bass for a long period of time (we don’t know why you would want to), remember to slightly loosen your strings to relieve pressure on the neck. As with any piece of art, don’t throw it in your trunk and leave it in -10° or 110° weather! Always keep you bass stored at room temperature, and avoid extreme changes in temperature or humidity. Accessories Accessories Add-on products like stands, hangers and straps that are made of plastic, rubber or man-made materials may chemically or physically react with and damage the finish of your Peavey bass. Peavey offers a full line of safe accessories at Every player needs a strap for peak performance; however, straps and strap buttons are designed for “ordinary” use. If you anticipate “above ordinary” use, Peavey recommends that you use Super Strap Locks to secure your strap to your bass (see REMEMBER: Peavey Care Kits offer the best value for your money. Check them out at 10 Old strings can produce dull, buzzing or dead notes, but a new set of strings will ring clear and true. If you play often, you will need to change your strings often. A good rule of thumb is that if you play daily, you should change strings every two to three weeks. Replace your strings as you notice them becoming dirty or discol- ored, before you experience a disappointing loss of performance. See page 1 for detailed instructions on changing strings. 11Strings 11 Strings 11 Changing Your Strings Unless you are reconditioning your fretboard (see Cleaning & Care, p. ), strings should be changed one at a time to maintain proper neck tension. New strings should be free of defects (twists, kinks, bends) that can cause sound irregularities or breakage. All strings must be stretched upon installation. After your first tuning, carefully pull each string away from the fretboard, stretching it gently (too much force will break thinner strings). Then, retune your guitar. Peavey recommends that you replace strings in the same gauges to maintain proper neck and/or bridge tension. If you wish to change strings with different gauges, Peavey recommends that you enlist the services of a qualified technician to make the required truss rod and/or bridge adjustments on your instrument.

Tools Needed: Wire cutters Electronic tuner or pitch pipe (optional) Note: Peavey recommends changing one string at a time to maintain proper tension on the neck and bridge. Replace strings with the same gauges or you will need to make truss rod, spring tension and intonation adjustments as described in this manual. First, detune the thickest, top string (the 6th, th or th string, depending on your model) using the machine head tuner—two or three full turns should remove the tension on the string. Remove the string from the tuning peg; at the other end of the string, pull the ball end of the string and remove the string from the instrument. (You may wish to cut off the portion of the string previously wound around the tuning peg to make this task easier.) 1 Changing Your Strings Following the path of the string you just removed, insert the plain end of a new string through the hole in the bridge and thread across the string saddle, up the fingerboard, across the nut, through the string guide (if one is provided), and into the small hole in the corresponding machine head tuning post. (The ball end of the string will secure the string to the bridge.) At the headstock, allow - inches of string beyond the post for turning around the machine head post, then cut the excess string. Insert the freshly cut string end into the hole in the center of the tuning post. Then, bend the string at a right angle at the edge of the slot and begin winding the string onto the post. Note that the string path should be straight, running from the fretboard, over the nut, through the string guides (if provided), to the post—without angling off. To avoid slippage, w...
