Changing Your Strings

Changing strings on a Peavey bass guitar is a simple task that will bring new life to your instrument.

Tools Needed:

Wire cutters

Electronic tuner or pitch pipe (optional)

Note: Peavey recommends changing one string at a time to maintain proper tension on the neck and

bridge. Replace strings with the same gauges or you will need to make truss rod, spring tension and

intonation adjustments as described in this manual.

First, detune the thickest, top string (the 6th, th or th string, depending on your model) using the

machine head tuner—two or three full turns should remove the tension on the string. Remove the string

from the tuning peg; at the other end of the string, pull the ball end of the string and remove the string

from the instrument. (You may wish to cut off the portion of the string previously wound around the tun-

ing peg to make this task easier.)
