The
Ultra-Light
Bass
uses
standard
ball-end
bass
strings.
(Factory
installed
D’Addario
EXL-165.)
No
special
tools
are
required
for
string
changes.
The
tuners
on
your
Traveler
Guitar
operate
just
like
the
tuners
on
a
standard
bass
guitar.
We
recommend
changing
the
strings
two
at
a
time—but
be
careful
not
to
remove
all
the
strings
at
once,
since
some
of
the
components
are
held
in
place
by
string
tension.
Loosen
the
E,
and
A
strings
and
then
install
two
new
strings
in
their
places.
Repeat
this
process
on
the
D
and
G
strings.
To
change,
thread
the
string
through
its
hole
in
the
endcap
and
wrap
the
string
around
the
roller
and
through
the
corresponding
tuner
hole.
Leave
approximately
2
inches
of
slack
in
the
string
to
allow
2
to
3
wraps
on
the
tuner.
Bend
the
string
to
anchor
it
in
place
in
order
to
hold
the
string
after
it
is
fed
through
the
tuner.
Over-
or
under-wrapping
the
string
around
the
tuner
may
cause
tuning
problems.
