FAQs

Is this guitar suitable for left-handed players?

This electric bass guitar is designed for right-handed players. Left-handed versions would require a separate purchase.

What type of amplifier should I use with this bass guitar?

This is an electric bass guitar, so it requires an amplifier designed for electric bass. A standard electric guitar amplifier may not provide the optimal low-frequency response.

How do I change the strings?

You can use the included spare strings. Loosen the old strings, remove them from the tuning posts and bridge, then thread and secure the new strings. Tuning and playing them in will be necessary.

What is the scale length of the guitar?

The scale length of this electric bass guitar is 86.5 cm.

Does the guitar come pre-tuned?

Guitars typically ship with loosened strings for safety. You will need to use the included tuner to tune the instrument before playing.

What material is the guitar body made of?

The guitar body is constructed from a combination of solid sycamore wood, birch wood, and engineered wood.

Can I play this guitar without an amplifier?

As an electric bass guitar, it is designed to be played through an amplifier to produce sound. While you can strum it unplugged, the volume will be very low and not its intended use.

Troubleshooting

Guitar is out of tune

Use the included tuner to re-tune all strings to the standard E-A-D-G tuning. Ensure strings are seated properly at the tuning pegs and bridge.

No sound when plugged into an amplifier

Check that the audio cable is securely plugged into both the guitar and the amplifier. Ensure the amplifier is powered on and volume is up. Test with a different cable if possible.

Buzzing sound from strings

This can be normal for new string setups. Ensure strings are not touching frets unintentionally. Check for any loose hardware on the guitar. A professional setup might be beneficial if the buzzing persists.

Bag zipper is stuck

Gently try to maneuver the zipper. Use a pencil lead or a bit of graphite lubricant on the teeth if it continues to stick. Avoid forcing the zipper.
