Trim Pots:
One turn Trim Pots

Buffer Settings for Trim Pots:
With the Bass laying on it's side... neck on left end pin on right... back facing you,
Look very close at the Trim Pots the center has a small arrow head.

(( Individual Trim pot arrow should be set no higher than 9:00 ))
(( Master vol. should be set no higher than 6:00 ))

If set at full range ---- bass will distort.
The higher the settings the chance is greater to distort.
The Pre Amp is very powerful and will over drive the system.

(This should be done only to balance the string volume not to increase overall Volume of instrument ---- that should be done at the Amp.)

If one string is louder than the others you can set it lower ----- or bring the others higher to balance.
