INSTALLING STRINGS:
The CL-3BE is factory equipped with D’Addario EXPPBB190GS. These strings are specialized for short-scale
acoustic bass guitars.
Do not attempt to put other bass strings on this instrument as the extra
tension may cause damage to the instrument.
1. Loosen existing strings.
2. Remove strings from tuning machines by unwrapping them.
3. Remove bridge pins from bridge by using bridge pin puller or other tool.
4. Place new strings ball-end into bridge hole, and replace bridge pin, making sure to seat the ball-end
before tightening the string.
5. Insert string into tuning machine, leaving approximately 2 1/2” of slack so the string can wrap around
the tuning machine post. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed
through the tuner.
6. Slowly tune to pitch.
7. Cut excess string.
