포장 풀기 및 초기 검사
Carefully remove the bass guitar from its packaging. Inspect the instrument for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Check the neck, body, bridge, and headstock for cracks, dents, or other irregularities. If any damage is found, contact your retailer immediately.
악기 튜닝
Before playing, ensure your bass is properly tuned. Standard tuning for a 4-string bass is E-A-D-G (from lowest to highest string). Use an electronic tuner for accuracy. Gently turn the tuning pegs to adjust the string tension until each string reaches its correct pitch.
Battery Installation (for Active Electronics)
The active Shadow electronics require a 9V battery for operation. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the side or back of the bass. Open the compartment, insert a fresh 9V battery, observing the correct polarity (+/-), and close the compartment securely. Replace the battery when the sound becomes weak or distorted.
연결 중 Amp화
에게 amplify your bass, connect a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable from the output jack on the bass to the input of your bass amplifier or direct box. Ensure your amp갑작스러운 큰 소음을 방지하기 위해 케이블을 연결하거나 분리하기 전에 앰프를 끄거나 볼륨을 낮춰야 합니다.
작동 지침
기본 재생
Hold the bass comfortably, either seated or standing with a strap. Pluck or pick the strings with your right hand (for right-handed players) while fretting notes on the fingerboard with your left hand. Experiment with different playing techniques to find your preferred sound.
Using the Active Shadow Electronics
Your RockBass Alien Deluxe Hybrid features active Shadow electronics with a blend of magnetic and piezo pickups. This system allows for versatile tone shaping:
- 볼륨 조절: Adjusts the overall output level of the bass.
- 혼합 제어: Mixes the signal between the magnetic pickup (typically for a more electric bass tone) and the piezo pickup (for a more acoustic, percussive tone). Experiment to find the desired balance.
- EQ Controls (Bass, Mid, Treble): These knobs allow you to boost or cut specific frequency ranges to sculpt your tone.
- 베이스: Controls low frequencies for warmth and depth.
- 중간 : Affects the presence and punch of your sound.
- 고음부: Adjusts high frequencies for brightness and clarity.
Start with all EQ controls at their center (flat) position and make small adjustments to achieve your desired sound. Remember that active electronics require a battery to function.

청소
Regular cleaning will preserve the finish and playability of your bass. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the body, neck, and strings after each use to remove sweat, oils, and dust. For the body, a guitar-specific polish can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
String Care and Replacement
Strings should be wiped clean after each playing session. Replace strings regularly, as old or corroded strings can negatively impact tone and intonation. When replacing strings, change them one at a time to maintain neck tension.
Humidity and Temperature Control
Acoustic instruments are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Store your bass in a stable environment, ideally between 45-55% relative humidity and 65-75°F (18-24°C). Extreme fluctuations can cause wood to expand, contract, or crack. Consider using a humidifier or dehumidifier in your storage area if necessary.
저장
When not in use, store your bass in a gig bag or hard case to protect it from dust, impacts, and environmental changes. Avoid leaning the bass against walls or furniture where it could fall.
