Strings should appear to be spaced equally from center to center. The outside two strings should appear to be equally spaced from the edge of the neck approximately 3/32" from the outer edge. 6. Check for fret rattle With the instrument plugged into your amplifier and the pickup selector switch in the neck position, pick in the area between the neck and bridge pickups. Play each fret position, holding the pick parallel to the plane of the body, to determine that the strings do not buzz or rattle against successively higher frets. Due to differences in playing styles and picking techniques, action settings that produce no string rattle for one player may rattle when another player plays the instrument. If you have followed all the adjustment procedures listed and set the string action at the top end of the string height, but are still experiencing fret rattle take the instrument to an authorized Fender dealer or qualified service center. 7. Adjust Intonation (Recheck tuning) With an electronic tuner, (the pickup selector switch Elite Precision Bass II in the neck pickup position) and the tone control rolled off to '0, check the intonation of each string by playing the 12th fret harmonic and comparing it to the actual fretted note. The pitch should be the same ±. 1 cent. 11
