NECK

Ibanez basses are equipped

with adjustable truss rods.

The purpose of a truss rod

is to adjust the neck to coun-

teract string tension. There

are many reasons for truss

rod adjustments. One of the

most frequent reasons is

changing string gauges or

tuning pitch, which can affect

string tension. String tension

changes may affect the string height and cause fret buzz or incorrect notes. To

adjust the truss rod, locate the truss rod nut and adjust it by inserting the correct

wrench into the nut and tightening (clockwise) or loosening (counter clockwise) the

rod. Truss rod tension can be measured by installing a capo at the first fret, holding

the string down at the fret position where the neck joins the body. Insert a thickness

gauge between the string and the fret at the 8th fret. There should be between 0.3

mm to 0.5 mm clearance. That clearance is referred to as "neck relief." Too much

neck relief can cause the neck to have higher action in the middle of the neck

causing poor intonation and uncomfortable playability. No neck relief can cause fret

buzz.

*Appropriate care must be taken when adjusting the neck and we recommend only qualified technicians per-

form this procedure.

STRINGS

If strings become dirty, discolored, or produce a dull

sound or buzz, replace the strings with new ones. For

best results we recommend replacing one string at a

time, this will help to avoid removing all the string ten-

sion from the neck. When replacing strings with differ-

ent gauge strings, it may be necessary to adjust the

truss rod tension. (We recommend only qualified tech-

nicians perform truss rod adjustments.) Ibanez basses

are factory equipped with the following string gauges.

Please follow the instructions below for your particular

model.

The strings should be tightly wound on to the tuning

machines from top to bottom with 2 to 3 string wraps

around the post. On tuning machines where the string

ends are inserted into the posts, the string can be cut to

length in advance using a pair of string cutters.

If the tuning machines are sealed gear units, they are self-lubricating types. The

set screws for the tuning knob are adjustment screws that can be tightened with

a small Phillips (+) head screwdriver to increase the tension.

*The use of coarse strings may lead to buzzing and sound distortion. Using strings that have twists or kinks may

cause buzzing or decreased sustain. Make sure that the strings are smooth and free from any defects before

installing.

To install the string on to the bridge,

thread the new string through the

string holes located on the back of

the tailpiece and bring them up and

over the saddle. For bridges that re-

quire special installation instruc-

tions, please see the appendix at

the end of this manual.
