Yamaha Silent Bass SLB-100 Owner's Manual

■ Tuning

The Silent Bass is shipped from the factory with the bridge in place and the strings slightly

loosened. The bridge's height is set to an average height.

Since the position of the bridge will sometimes shift during transport, please properly

adjust the position of the bridge before tuning the strings.

• The lower side of the bridge supports the 1

the higher side supports the 4

ing at the bridge from the side, the surface that has a

sharper curve should face the fingerboard. (Facing up

when in the playing position). (Fig. 1)

• The side of the bridge facing the tailpiece should be at

a right angle compared to the body. (Fig. 2)

• The height of the instrument's bridge is adjustable.

Turning the round legs clockwise will raise the bridge

higher. Turning the round legs counter-clockwise will

lower the bridge's height. (Fig. 3)

The bridge's legs

[Fig. 3 : Adjusting bridge height]

• Before adjusting the bridge's height, make sure that the strings are loosened so that the legs can turn

easily. If string tension is too tight and the legs are turned by force, it may result in damage to the bridge,

pickup, etc.

• Make sure that both of the bridge's legs are adjusted to the same height. If both legs are not stable and

string tension is increased, the bottom of the bridge will not have adequate contact with the pickup

resulting in poor sound quality, noise, damage, etc. (Fig. 3-*1)
