B.C. Rich Assassin Manual De Usuario

When you do need to change batteries you will get better performance and

battery life if you use an alkaline battery. The battery compartment is located

on the back of the bass just above the control cavity. It can easily be opened

by unscrewing the 2 screws with a Phillips head screwdriver. Changing the

battery will not affect your warranty.

The controls for both the NJ and Innovator series are as follows:

(see photo)

• #1 is the Master Volume. It controls the output of both pickups.

• #2 is the Blend Control. The purpose of the Blend Control is to

be able to select pickups (bridge or neck) and also to be able

to blend them together. Turning the knob counterclockwise

will bring more of the neck pickup into the mix. Turning it

clockwise will bring more of the bridge pickup into the mix.

Setting the Blend Control knob in the middle (there is a middle

detent position) will place each pickup evenly in the mix.

• #3 is the Bass Boost/Cut Control. It controls the amount of bass

(low end) output of the instrument. Turning the knob clockwise

will add bass. Turning the knob counterclockwise will decrease

the bass output. Once again, there is a center position that

will set the bass EQ flat (no cut or boost).

• #4 is the Treble Boost/Cut Control. It controls the amount of

high-end output of the instrument. Turning the knob clockwise

will add treble. Turning the knob counterclockwise will

decrease the treble output. Once again, there is a center position

that will set the treble EQ flat (no cut or boost).

tuning using the range tuner set screw.

Remember: do not use the fine tuner

screws to tune the guitar at this point.

Step 4:

A range tuner setscrew is located in

the nose of each pivoting saddle.

Step 5:

Using a 1.5mm Allen wrench and the

range tuner setscrew, tune your guitar

to any tuning you desire. You can

increase the pitch of a given string by

turning the setscrew clockwise, and

decrease the pitch of the string by

turning the setscrew counter-

clockwise. (Remember not to use the

fine tuner screws for this tuning.)

Now that you have tuned your guitar

to the tuning you want, the bridge

should be properly setup, and the fine

tuners should be set to the middle of

their range.

The way your guitar is set up now is

what is called a "blocked" setup. This

means that the tremolo can be used

for dive effects but you can't pull up

on the arm for up bends. You can leave

your guitar the way it is, or you can

disengage the tremolo stop to return

the tremolo to what is called a

"floating" setup. However, before you

return the bridge to a floating

condition, you might want to check

your intonation. If your intonation

needs adjusting, go to the "Setting your

intonation" section.
