Welcome to the Fender Family 2 RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 Fender-our very name is synonymous with all things bass. The electric bass guitar and the bass amplifier simply were

6、nt available to the masses before Clarence “Leo” Fender and his small Southern California company conceived of and produced the Precision Bass and the Bassman amplifier in the early 1950s. Throughout the 1930s and 40s, the upright bass, which was the standard in popular music at the time, could bare

7、ly be heard beneath the rumble and volume of the pop and big bands of the era. In 1951 Fender changed all of that with the creation of the Precision Bass, an electric bass guitar with “precise” intonation that when amplified, could be easily heard and felt on the bandstands and throughout the dance

8、venues of the day, forever altering the landscape of popular and recorded Music. From the Beginning 3 History In 1960 Fender created another revolutionary instrument, the Jazz Bass. With its offset waist, two pickups and narrow neck, the Jazz Bass was sonically versatile, faster playing, and soon be

9、came the standard by which all other bass guitars were measured. Fender basses became the most recorded basses on the planet and they persist in dominating the catalogs of popular music today because the unique character of their voices has helped to define and shape the very styles and genres of el

10、ectric music we all love and listen to. Fender continues to be on the cutting edge of bass guitar development and offers a phenomenal selection of world class basses and bass amplifiers for everyone from the beginning player to seasoned touring and recording professionals. From James Jamerson to Ged

As part of its fina

18、l assembly, it has been hand adjusted and set up to the Fender factory specifications, which produce the best possible playing action. However, this instrument, like all instruments made from wood, can be sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The woods of your bass absorb moisture f

19、rom the air when it is humid, and they evaporate moisture out when the humidity falls. The wood also expands and contracts with changes in temperature. These natural movements are fairly minute, and while generally not visible to the naked eye, they can dramatically affect the setup and playability

20、of the instrument. On a hot day, for example, when an already-tuned instrument is taken from a hot car into a cool air-conditioned environment and removed from its case, its woods cool and shrink fairly quickly. This contraction decreases the string tension and causes the tuning to drop noticeably f

21、lat. These same aspects may come into play after an instrument leaves our factory and before you receive it from your Dealer. The playing action and setup of the instrument when you receive it will depend on several factors, such as: The amount of time between the final assembly and when the instrum

22、ent actually ships from Fender. The amount of time taken during shipping for the instrument to travel from Fenders warehouse to its final destination. The method of shipping the instrument, i.e. ground, air etc. The climatic conditions the instrument is exposed to during shipment. The climatic condi

IT IS NATURAL FOR THE SETUP TO CHANGE OVER TIME WHEN EXPOSED TO THE FACTORS DESCRIBED ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE. Fender electric instruments have numerous points

If you find the action to be too high or too low for your taste or playing style, please review this manual for details on the set

TUNING If you dont own an electronic tuner, you may want to purchase one. It will simplify many of the following procedures. If you already have one, just plug in and turn

31、 the basss volume control all the way up. Pluck either an open string or the 12th fret harmonic*, to produce the clearest tone for the tuner. (*A harmonic is a “chime-like” tone that is produced by lightly touching the exact mid point of the string at the twelfth fret with your finger tip, and pluck

32、ing the string with the other hand.) Note: If you press the string too hard, it will choke the string and mute the sound. With a little practice though, youll develop the light touch needed to make the harmonic ring out. 13 Set-up If youre playing a 4-string bass, tune the open strings to E, A, D, G

34、imple as how you wind the strings onto the tuning machine posts when changing your strings, will determine tuning stability and string tension. Its also a good idea to stretch your strings a little as you tune to make sure that each string is seated well and snugged down on the tuning machine post.

35、This will save you some tuning frustration down the road. Just grab the string in the middle, lightly tug it up and down to remove slack, and then retune. (See your Fender Dealer to obtain replacement Fender bass strings.) First start by pulling each string through the bridge, over the nut and past

36、the corresponding tuning machine post, with enough extra length to allow a minimum of three winds around it. Mark that point on the string. With wire cutters, crimp the string over at a 45-degree angle one inch before the mark, then clip off the excess at the mark, (Figure A). Next, place the end of

37、 the string all the way down in the hole in the center of the tuning machine post and bend the string over in the slot. Wind the tuning key to tighten the string to pitch while holding the loose end of the string in place with your other hand, (Figure B). Make sure that the string does not overlap i

38、tself and is wound from the top down to the base of the tuning machine shaft, to insure the string is seated properly on the nut with the most acute break angle possible, (Figure C). 15 Set-up Setup and Adjustment Made Easy Weather, specifically temperature and humidity, may have a dramatic impact o

39、n the way your bass plays. All instrument woods expand and contract with seasonal fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and naturally, string height and playing action are affected. Depending on the climate where you live, your bass may need routine adjustments a couple of times a year. Fender b

40、asses have several points of adjustment which are there to compensate for the adverse effects of these environmental changes, and more importantly, these features allow you to tailor the playing action of the bass to your own personal playing style. Note: The following factory specifications are med

41、ian specs, and are meant only to guide you. They should not be taken as hard and fast rules. If you prefer your action a little higher or lower, change it as you like, but be aware that higher action will be more difficult to play and lower action may result in excessive fret buzz, depending on your

42、 technique, or style of play. Changing Batteries Fender produces basses with passive electronics (no batteries) and basses with active (battery-powered) preamps. Some active basses have an active/ passive switch, to switch between modes. Depending on the instrument, your active bass may have either

43、a 9-volt (one-battery) system, or an 18-volt (two- battery) system. (Visit the Fender website for detailed specifications for your instrument.) Typical battery life for both systems is approximately 600 hours of playing time. All Fender basses with active preamps are equipped with switching jacks wh

44、ich engage the battery when a cable is plugged into the jack. Note: To maximize battery life, unplug your cable from the bass when not playing the instrument. As your batteries lose their power, the voltage supplied to the preamp will also drop, which will result in distortion and noise in the basss

45、 signal. When distortion and noise occur in your signal, it is your cue that the batteries must be changed for the instrument to operate correctly. Note: Active basses that do not have an active/passive switch will not play passively when the batteries are dead. For basses with 2-battery 18-volt pre

46、amps, always replace both batteries at the same time, as mismatched voltages may adversely affect the performance of the preamp. It is a good idea to use the same brand of battery consistently, over the life of the instrument. 16 Set-up Figure D Figure E The following setup procedures and specificat

47、ions are for your Fender bass as equipped with the strings that come on the instrument as standard equipment from the factory. If you plan to change string gauges, you may need to adjust the specs somewhat to compensate for the changes in string sizes. Modifications of the specs may also be made (wi

48、thin limited parameters) to adjust for your individual playing style or application (i.e., how hard you pick, finger, slap, pop or fret the bass). Truss Rod Adjustment String tension exerts a tremendous bending force on the neck of the bass. The adjustable steel truss rod in the neck exerts a counte

49、r-force to the pull of the strings. If these two opposing forces are not in harmony with each other, the result will be a poorly playing instrument. Note: A truss rod that is too loose will result in a concave neck bow and high action, which will require more effort to play, (Figure D). A truss rod that is too tight will result in a convex neck bow, excessively low action and buzzing strings, (Figure E) An ideally adjusted neck will have a moderate amount of relief (curvature), to accommodate the amplitude of the vibr
