Zeta Music
The heart of your instrument is Zeta’s patented Strados

bridge pickup. Under each
string are special piezo pickups positioned to maximize tone and signal while rejecting
feedback. The Cross-Over’s Strados

pickup projects warmth and clarity at any
volume. The pickup has a full-frequency response of 20-20Khz. The pickup’s audio
signals are processed through an active preamp system internally mounted within the
instrument..
TELESCOPING ENDPIN AND UPPER BOUT GUIDE
These accessories convert the Cross-Over so that it can be played in an upright
position. Simply insert the telescoping endpin into the base of the instrument and turn it
clockwise until the screw threads engage and hold it in position. The upper bout guide
is screwed in place with the two thumb screws onto the upper back of the instrument,
and features thumb screws for adjusting the playing angle of the Cross-Over. The
upper bout guide is designed to simulate the contours of an acoustic upright bass, and
provides support of the bass by leaning against the player's midsection.
TRIPOD MOUNTING SYSTEM
The optional ZOS-5 Tripod Stand mounts in the lower body cavity, just as the
Telescoping Endpin. While the instrument is mounted on the ZOS-5 Tripod Stand,
please be certain that the tripod feet are fully expanded as the instrument could be
accidentally knocked over.
LIGHTWEIGHT TUNERS
Gotoh lightweight tuning machines are designed to hold the strings at pitch for long
periods of time without needing readjustment. Gotoh lightweight tuning machines have a
20:1 tuning ratio.
STRINGS
Please note: For optimum instrument performance, strings should be changed at least
once every month.
