Stringing / Tuning Procedure:
Place the string’s ball end on the bridge
string holder. Hold the ball end down with
one hand and with the other feed the string
to the tuner.
RockBass Alien basses come with slotted
bridge pins. Before you pull out a bridge
pin, make sure that there is no tension on
the string.Put the ball end into the slot in the
bridge and press the bridge pin with its slot
turned to the string.
Cut the string approximately 8 cm / 3 ¼ "
behind the tuner. You’ll need this excess
length for the windings around the tuner’s
post.
The tuner’s post has a slot with a hole in
the center. Put the string in that hole before
you start winding. This system avoids the
string poking out to the side of the tuner
and stabilizes the winding and thus the
tuning overall.

Tighten the string while winding it around
the post. This avoids string slippage and
increases tuning stability.
2 - 4 windings around the post are ideal for
good tuning and stability.
