Lay the instrument on a table or other flat surface and insert a small standard-head screwdriver in the nut exposed at the end of the neck near the pickguard edge. If the neck bows up in the center, turn the slotted screw counterclockwise a quarter turn. If the neck is concave in the center, turn the slotted screw clockwise. To ease the pressure on the nut, have another person hold down the body of the guitar and with your left hand depress or raise the end of the neck according to the adjustment required. With the right hand turn the nut in the appropriate direction. If at any time you have any question concerning any of the various adjustments described, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer or write Fender, Fullerton, California. ADJUSTABLE PICKUPS The Pickups on your Fender Bass are fully adjustable for height and matched string volume. Adjustments are made by turning the Pickup Adjustment Screws located at either end of the pickups. The relative volume of any string may be adjusted by raising or lowering the end of the appropriate pickup section. To raise a pickup section, turn the adjustment screws counterclockwise; to lower, turn the screws clockwise. The recommended string clearance (3/32') is measured between the pickup and the first and fourth strings when fretted at the highest fret. Note: Pickups set too close to the strings can cause false tones and loss of sustain. 7
