tuning using the range tuner set screw. Remember: do not use the fine tuner screws to tune the guitar at this point.

Step 4:

A range tuner setscrew is located in the nose of each pivoting saddle.

Step 5:

Using a 1.5mm Allen wrench and the range tuner setscrew, tune your guitar to any tuning you desire.You can increase the pitch of a given string by turning the setscrew clockwise, and decrease the pitch of the string by turning the setscrew counter- clockwise. (Remember not to use the fine tuner screws for this tuning.)

Now that you have tuned your guitar to the tuning you want, the bridge should be properly setup, and the fine tuners should be set to the middle of their range.

The way your guitar is set up now is what is called a "blocked" setup.This means that the tremolo can be used for dive effects but you can't pull up on the arm for up bends.You can leave your guitar the way it is, or you can disengage the tremolo stop to return the tremolo to what is called a "floating" setup. However, before you return the bridge to a floating condition, you might want to check your intonation. If your intonation needs adjusting, go to the "Setting your intonation" section.

When you do need to change batteries you will get better performance and battery life if you use an alkaline battery.The battery compartment is located on the back of the bass just above the control cavity. It can easily be opened by unscrewing the 2 screws with a Phillips head screwdriver. Changing the battery will not affect your warranty.

The controls for both the NJ and Innovator series are as follows: (see photo)

• #1 is the Master Volume. It controls the output of both pickups.

#2 is the Blend Control. The purpose of the Blend Control is to be able to select pickups (bridge or neck) and also to be able to blend them together. Turning the knob counterclockwise will bring more of the neck pickup into the mix. Turning it clockwise will bring more of the bridge pickup into the mix. Setting the Blend Control knob in the middle (there is a middle

detent position) will place each pickup evenly in the mix.

#3 is the Bass Boost/Cut Control. It controls the amount of bass (low end) output of the instrument. Turning the knob clockwise will add bass. Turning the knob counterclockwise will decrease the bass output. Once again, there is a center position that will set the bass EQ flat (no cut or boost).

#4 is the Treble Boost/Cut Control. It controls the amount of high-end output of the instrument. Turning the knob clockwise will add treble . Turning the knob counterclockwise will decrease the treble output. Once again, there is a center position that will set the treble EQ flat (no cut or boost).
