    • Rotate the tuning peg counterclockwise until the string is slightly taut, but not tight.

    • Check to ensure that the string is lined up with the proper notch in the nut.

    • You will have proper alignment when the sting bends at a minimum angle.

  11. Adjusting Ibanez SR405QM Truss Rod: paso 11, imagen 1 de 1
    • Repeat steps 3-10 for each string.

    • Each string will progressively get closer to the knobs. It is not essential to progress from thick to thin strings, but it is important that they are connected to the proper string tree.

  12. Adjusting Ibanez SR405QM Truss Rod: paso 12, imagen 1 de 1
    • Caution: Do not over tighten the strings. This can cause the strings to snap and could cause bodily injury. The strings are too tight when you have difficulty turning the tuning peg.

    • Tighten the string until it is close to the proper tuning. Use an electronic tuner or an online tuner that uses your computer's microphone. (Google: Online Tuner)

    • Note: Clockwise rotation of the tuning peg tightens the string and produces a higher pitch. Counter-clockwise rotation loosens the string causing a lower pitch.

    • Tune the thickest string to B, the second thickest string E, the next thickest to A, the next string to D, and the last string to G.

    • Remove the strings from the bass according to the string installation guide.
