INTRODUCTION
Our congratulations and deepest thanks on making Ibanez your choice
of instrument. Ibanez standards are second to none. All Ibanez
instruments are set up to our strict quality control standards before
shipping. The purpose of this manual is to explain how to maintain your
instrument's finish and to keep your guitar playing as well as it did when
it left our factory.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning of your bass is one of the most
important ways you can maintain the finish and lengthen
string life. After playing, wipe down your instrument to
remove any perspiration from the instrument.
Perspiration can actually contain acids that can be
corrosive to the strings and metal parts of the bass. Gloss
finish basses should be polished with polish formulated
specifically for musical instruments, and a soft treated guitar cloth or a cotton rag. Abrasive
rags such as polyester can scratch the finish. Oil finished basses should be wiped clean
immediately after playing with a dry cotton rag only. If your bass has become discolored due to
extended use or heavy perspiration, factory appearance, see a qualified bass repair person
about methods to restore the oil finish to its original factory appearance.
STRINGS AND TUNING MACHINES
If strings become dirty, discolored, or produce a dull sound or buzz,
replace the strings with new ones. For best results we recommend
replacing one string at a time, this will help to avoid removing the string  8 to 10 cm
tension from the neck. When replacing strings with different gauge strings,
it may be necessary to adjust the truss rod tension. (We recommend
only qualified technicians perform this.) Ibanez basses are factory
equipped with the following string gauges. Please follow the instructions
below for your particular model. The strings should be tightly wound on
to the tuning machines from top to bottom with 2 to 3 string wraps around
the post. In case of tuning machines, where the string ends are inserted
into the posts, the string can be cut to length in advance using a pair of
string cutters. If the tuning machines are sealed gear units, they are self-
lubricating types. The set screws for the tuning knob are adjustment  TIGHTEN
screws that can be tightened with a small Phillips head screwdriver to
increase the tension.
* The use of coarse strings may lead to buzzing and sound distortion. Using strings that have
LOOSEN
twists or kinds may cause buzzing or decreased sustain. Make sure that the strings are
smooth and free from any defects before installing.
