Place the string’s ball end on the bridge string holder.

Hold the ball end down with one hand and with the

other feed the string to the tuner.

RockBass Alien basses come with slotted bridge

pins. Before you pull out a bridge pin, make sure

that there is no tension on the string.Put the ball end

into the slot in the bridge and press the bridge pin

with its slot turned to the string.

Cut the string a

“ behind the

tuner. You’ll need this excess length for the windings

around the tuner’s post.

Tighten the string while winding it around the post.

This avoids string slippage and increases tuning sta-

bility.

The tuner’s post has a slot with a hole in the center.

Put the string in that hole before you start winding.

This system avoids the string poking out to the side

of the tuner a

nd stabilizes the winding and thus the

tuning overall.

2 - 4 windings around the post are ideal for good

tuning and stability.
