Using the Controls
1
Turn the POWER switch on the rear panel to its “ON” position.
The Silent Bass will be powered and the lamp will light.
2
Use a cable with a standard 1/4 inch phone plug to connect the
/LINE OUT jack on the rear panel to the input jack on a bass
amp or powered speaker, etc.
Also, connecting a pair of headphones to this jack will allow
you to practice in private without the use of an amp.
• Before making any connections, make sure the volume is
turned down on the amplifier, powered speaker, etc. or its
power is switched OFF.
• Do not make any connections when you are wearing the
headphones over your ears.
3
Rotate the VOLUME dial to adjust the volume to a suitable
level.
•When using the headphones, do not operate at high vol-
ume levels for long periods of time. Doing so can lead to
irreparable damage to your hearing.
• If the sound is distorted when playing strongly, try turning
the volume knob slightly to the left.
4
Use the TONE dial to control the instrument’s tone quality.
Rotate the dial to the right (HIGH) to increase high frequen-
cies. Rotate the dial to the left (LOW) to increase low frequen-
cies.
● Pickup balance adjustment
The Silent Bass’ pickup system consists of two sensors, one for low strings the other for high.
Depending upon the type of strings and your playing style, you might want to adjust the balance of the high
and low sensors. If so, please use the following procedure.
1
Remove the rubber cover located under the TONE knob on the rear
section of the main body.
* Do not lose this cover.
2
Use a non-conductive screwdriver (made of plastic or resin so it does
on conduct electricity) to turn the balance control located inside the
hole and adjust the balance. Turn to the right (clockwise) to increase
the volume of the high sensor. Turn to the left (counter-clockwise) to
increase the volume of the low sensor.
*Do not turn the balance control too much.
3
After adjustment is complete, replace the rubber cover.
HINT If your playing uses mostly a pizzicato style, we suggest
slightly boosting the bass side. If you mainly use a bow,
a center setting may be best.
