Note': Pickup set too close to the strings can cause false tones and loss of sustain. Al)JUSTABLE BRIDGES The bridge on the Fender Elite Series basses feature a top load stringing system. The strings are inserted into the holes behind the bridge plate. Pull each string into its own individual hole and string the bass as normal. String Height Adjustment Each Bridge may be adjusted to the desired height by turning the two Height Adjustment Screws on each section (see Adjustment Procedure #3 on page 10). Intonation Adjustment The Bridge also allows length adjustment of each string to assure perfect intonation. For greater accuracy, these adjustments should be made when strings are in new condition. To adjust each string see Adjustment Procedure #7 on page 11. Fine Tuning Bridge Adjustment The Elite Precision Bass II and t feature Fine Tuning Adjusters (Pat. pending) that allow convenient, precise harmonic tuning at the bridge. Turn the Fine Tuning Adjusters so they are exerting some downward pressure on the strings, at about the halfway point (see Adjustment Procedure #8 on page 12). Tune the instrument to standard pitch. The Fine Tuning Adjusters can now be used to precisely tune the instrument -Clockwise to raise the pitch, counterclockwise to lower the pitch. 5
