User manual PEAVEY CIRRUS

[. . . ] The bridge system of this instrument is satin gold finished individual fingerstyle (string thru or drop slot) three way adjustable, with (Patented Dual Compression Tech). the individual saddle tracks adjust to determine both string height and intonation. Solidly anchored to the body (The Patented Dual Compression System) provided maximum punch, sustain, and string stability during the heaviest of playing. The internal preamp places the Cirrus above other bass guitars of its type. [. . . ] A harmonic is played by plucking the string with the right hand while touching the string with the left index finger (as lightly as possible) directly above the 12th fret. The left index finger is drawn away as quickly as possible after the string is plucked, producing a "chime" effect. This chimed note is then compared to the fretted note. For greater ease and accuracy, we recommend one of the many types of electronic guitar tuners that are available from most music stores. Hold the instrument in a normal playing position or place it on a clean, flat surface so that only the body is in contact with the work surface. Any pressure on the neck will affect intonation settings. Play the first string open and compare it to the pitch of the same string when it is played at the twelfth fret. These notes should sound the same (actually, there is an octave difference). Using a Phillips head screwdriver, adjust the string saddle so that both the fretted and open notes are the same. If the fretted note is sharper than the open note, the vibrating length of the string must be increased. Move the bridge saddle to the rear-- away from the pickups. if the fretted note is flat , the vibrating length must be shortened. Move the bridge saddle forward--toward the pickups--to shorten the length. It will often be necessary to retune the open string to standard pitch after the bridge position is altered. Repeat steps 1­5 as necessary until the intonation of all the strings is accurately adjusted. This instrument features individual bridge saddles. Individual string saddles can be adjusted to follow the curvature of the neck to optimize string/fret distance. Use the supplied Allen wrench to make the adjustment for each string. These adjustments must be completed before any attempt is made to set string intonation at the bridge. If you are unfamiliar with this type of adjustment, we strongly recommend that this setting be performed by your authorized Peavey dealer.
