NJ Basses come equipped with 2 split-coil pickups with an active EQ system. Innovator Basses come equipped with 2 EMG-HZ passive pickups with an Active EQ System. Both Active EQ Systems use a 9-volt alkaline battery for power. For longer battery life, always unplug your bass when not in use.

Step 6:

If you're ready to float the tremolo, check your tuning one last time and make any needed adjustments using the range tuner set screw.Then, back the tremolo stop set screw away from the spring block.This will cause the bridge to tilt back toward the body of the guitar and all the strings will go sharp.This is normal.

Step 7:

You must now retune the guitar, this time using a Phillips screwdriver to turn the spring claw screws counter- clockwise to loosen the spring tension (If you added an extra spring to pull the spring block against the tremolo stop screw you should remove it first.)

Step 8:

The good news is that you only have to retune one string. Pluck the string you want to tune (Typically the "A" string for this procedure) and then, while watching the tuner, loosen first one claw screw then the other claw screw the same amount.

Check the tuning and repeat until the string is in tune.When you get the string you chose in tune the other strings will be in tune.This assumes that all the strings were in tune before you released the tremolo stop.
