Each player can of course change these settings according to play styles and needs although
some side effects may rise such as distortion, extra fret buzzing, or if the pickup is too close
to the string it may also affect the oscillating behavior of the string reducing sustain.
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the pickup height
Passive Electronics
Passive pickups and controls do not use a battery. They are considered standard electronics
because there
is no manipulation of the signal from the pickup other than decreasing the volume or high
frequencies
Active Electronics
Active pickups and circuits use power (9-volt alkaline battery, do not use rechargeable
Batteries) which provide power to a special circuit which boosts or cuts some frequencies.
Each Girard Guitars Bass is provided with an output jack which operates as switch to the
power supply.
When you do not use your Bass remember to unplug the output jack. This will preserve the
life of your battery.
In case of long period of not using the Bass it is recommended to remove the battery from
the bass.
Proper battery disposal.
