16. Loosen strings again.
17. Remove strap nut, hexagon nut and washer from the endpin (Fig. 1) and put endpin with all connected cables through
the sound hole.
19. Use included clips to secure battery cable to prevent noise.
20.The battery turns on automatically when you plug the guitar cable into the endpin. To spare with battery life, take the
cable out when you are finished.
18.Adjust the endpin height by using inside nut to
thetop of the base-neck and adjust so thelarger
threads end just below the surface of the guitar.
ATTENTION:
The larger thread has to end inside the frame of
your guitar (see Fig. 2). Put the washer from the
outside on the endpin jack, tighten the hexagon nut
by means of a wrench and screw new strap nut on.
12. Plug piezo pickup into the piezo-in-jack of the preamp and plug soundboard-transducer into “active-ST”-input.
13. Connect the 9V battery and secure the battery holder with the tape.
14. Tune your guitar.
15. Connect endpin preamp to your amplification system. With the “Gain Pot” you can choose volume of the two pickups.
Use phase shifter for adaption of the two pickups. Choose if you want to play mono or stereo (Mono/Stereo switch). If
the bass does not sound correct playing mono switch the phase shift.
