About the End Pin
The Silent Bass is shipped from the factory with its end
pin removed from the main body and stored separately
in the soft case. Before using the instrument, loosen the
end pin stopper and insert the end pin, then after deter-
mining a comfortable playing height, securely tighten the
end pin stopper.
•Make sure the end pin stopper is secured firmly to prevent
the instrument from falling while you play.
For reasons of design and performance, the end pin is de-
signed to fit into the instrument at an angle and can not be
fully inserted into the instrument’s body. Trying to force the
end pin all the way into the instrument, or subjecting the end
pin to strong impact can damage parts inside of the instru-
ment. Always proceed slowly and carefully when inserting or
removing the end pin.
Putting the Bass into the Soft Case
When storing the bass in the supplied soft case, remove the frame unit and end pin from the
bass and store them in the case separately as shown in the illustration below.
•Use the Velcro cover to secure the end pin in place inside of the soft case.
•When putting the bow in the soft case, make sure that it is first put into the hard bow case, then place the
hard case in the pocket and secure with a Velcro® fastener (1 location).
The soft case does not fully protect parts such as the bridge from damage.
The soft case is meant for storing and transportation of the instrument and protects it from dust, etc. Do
not place the bridge so it is on the bottom of the case and do not cause damage to the instrument by
placing objects on top of the case, hitting it, etc.
