Bridge intonation adjustment.
All Basses are factory adjusted to have the perfect intonation.
A bass is perfectly intonated when for example a string is tuned in its open position for
example 4
th
string in E and pressing the string at the 12
th
fret the string produces an E just 1
octave higher.
In case an intonation needs to be re-done follow the following steps:
1.
Plug your Bass Guitar into a tuning device with a proper cable.
2.
Tune up your bass with standard tuning E/A/D/G
3.
Press the 12
th
fret of the 4
th
string at 12
th
fret result should be E if not act on the
screws of the bridge in Clockwise/counterclockwise direction until the open string
and the same string played on the 12
th
fret produce the same note (in this case an E)
4.
Repeat step 3. For remaining strings.
PICKUP ADJUSTMENT
All pickups used in Girard Guitars Basses are adjustable. Raising or lowering a pickup will
increase or decrease the amount of output for that pickup. Pickup heights should be
adjusted so that both pickups are at about the same volume level compared to each other.
