Attachment to the Instrument - The large,
thin washer should be placed between the
instrument and the hub (failure to use the
washer can damage the surface of the
instrument). Insert the attachment screw into
the threaded insert on the back of the
instrument. Use a 4 mm hex wrench, flat
screwdriver, or coin to tighten the screw. The
hub should be held firmly but still be able to
rotate.
Adjusting Pivot Friction - To adjust the arm
friction, tighten or loosen the two hex screws in
the hub. The screw closest to the long arm
should generally be tightened more than the
other screw, to provide more friction on the
long arm. The hex wrench can be stored in the
hole in the ends of the tubes, but care must be
taken to insure that the hex wrench is not
positioned where it will scratch the instrument
when the arms are moved.
NXT Omni Bass Instructions
CONTROLS
Knob 1 - Volume
Knob 2 - Tone: Treble cut
Mode Switch: switch lever away from the tone knob for optimal pizzicato (plucked,
sustained) sound, switch lever toward the tone knob for optimal Arco (bowed and
percussive plucked) sound.
STRINGS
NS Omni Bass strings by D’Addario are recommended for “acoustic” sound. The Omni Bass also
accommodates most long scale bass guitar strings. Round wound strings are recommended for
brighter, more “electric” sound.
STRING HEIGHT
Adjust bridge height with Philips head screws under the bridge, accessible from the back of the
instrument.
TRUSS ROD
The truss rod will reduce relief when tightened. Use 5mm hex wrench, with access near nut.
Clockwise rotation decreases relief.
