8) Security Locks
All Warwick and RockBass Alien acoustic basses ship with Warwick Security Locks, which need to be
installed. The Warwick Alien and the RockBass Alien Deluxe are equipped with a strapholder that also
contains the output jack. This cannot be replaced. The strap lock can only be installed at the neck joint,
where the wood is thick enough to hold the screw (see illustration).
Do not try to install the security lock on the side of the guitar.
Assembly:
Put the piece with the outside thread in the
strap hole.
Put the ring on the thread from the other
side of the strap.
Screw the nut on the thread. Tighten with
a wrench.
Install the strap lock only at the neck point,
which is strong enough to hold the screw.
Drill a hole with a 2mm wood drill first.
The standard endpin is not included for
transport reasons.
Press the button of the Security Locks to
unlatch it so you can remove the strap or
put it on.
