Steinberger Bass Bridge Tuner Instructions
To Tune:
Turn knobs at rear of bridge clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
To Change Strings:
Turn tuning knobs counterclockwise until the string ball is fully visible. Remove the ball and the string will then slip easily from the headpiece.
Install by putting small ball end into headpiece first, then drop large ball into tuner jaws. Tighten tuning knobs until proper pitch is achieved. Stretch string and retune.
To Use Conventional Strings (one ball only):
A Steinberger String Adapter is required. Put ball end in bridge and thread through headpiece and string adapter holes. The small lip on the string adapter should be facing away from the neck and to the front in order to protect string ends. Firmly tighten set screws in in string adapter to clamp strings. Cut excess string length with wire cutters.
To Adjust Action:
Loosen set screw on side of bridge, adjust set screw in top of saddle up or down to desired action height. Tighten set screw on side of bridge to lock.
To Adjust Intonation:
Loosen set screw on side of bridge. Turn set screw in top of saddle to adjust - backward (toward tuner) if intonation is sharp at 24th fret; forward (toward head) if intonation at 24th fret is flat. Tighten set screw on side of bridge to lock.
