Internal trim pots for volume can be adjusted using a small standard screwdriver. Clockwise
rotation decreases volume; counter-clockwise rotation increases volume. To ensure an even
volume balance, it is recommended that you have the instrument plugged into an amplifier while
adjusting the trim pots, and check each string's volume by plucking the string after making
adjustments.
If you are not comfortable making internal volume adjustments, please refer servicing to a qualified
technician or your local Authorized Zeta Dealer.
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, in place of 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.
