3) Nut / Bridge
Nut:
Bridge :
The wood of a new Alien Basses can still change and will be in movement for a certain time, because
of this the pressures on the piezo-saddle pickup can vary. Since the piezo-saddle pickup works by
using pressure, this can lead to uneven output. The Alien bridge and saddle are built to have some
wiggle room to adjust that varying tension but sometimes you have to manually reset the position of the
saddle for it to adjust correctly again.
To make that adjustment, we’ve put together some instructions to explain how to do that:
Detune your strings as much as possible and check to see if your saddle (pick-up) has some front to
back wiggle room. Than rock the saddle a little bit, and lean it back and tune up the strings working
from the outside strings inward. i.e. B ----- G , then E ----- D, then A. Once up to pitch, with your hand
try to lean the saddle back (away from the neck) and also apply down pressure to the top. Double
check to make sure your strings are up to pitch and then check the output. If you still are experiencing
the issue after that, with the instrument plugged into an amp and on try pressing down on the sad-
dle and rocking it back away from the fret board, keep trying this adjustment and you should get an
even output.
