User manual FISHMAN FULLE CIRCLE

[. . . ] The pickup's unique position within the leg of a bass bridge achieves an amplified sound with fast attack, lots of body resonance and good resistance to feedback. Unlike many other bass pickups that add their own signature sound, the Full Circle has little coloration. Plug in the Full Circle and you'll hear the sound of the bass, not the pickup. The Full Circle is a quick retro-fit on many instruments with height adjustment wheels. Retro-fit the Full Circle to a bridge with installed wheels Although it is preferable to have a repair-person install the pickup, it is also possible for the player to retro-fit the Full Circle to a bridge with installed wheels. [. . . ] If the unit fails to function properly within the warranty period, free repair and the option of replacement or refund in the event that FISHMAN is unable to make repair are FISHMAN's only obligations.

FISHMAN retains the right to make such determination on the basis of factory inspection.

Once the wheels are mounted and the bass is tuned up, thread the white wire through one of the wing holes in the bridge and hold it in place with one of the neoprene plugs from the kit. (Illustration B) Fasten the output jack behind the bridge and between two adjacent pairs of strings. Then fasten the RCA plug into the back of the output jack. Open, resonant response. Mind the Gap! For good pickup performance, leave a slight gap between the threaded side of the wheel and the wood. If you close the gap, the amplified sound will become choked and muted.

Illustration B Illustration C Full Circle Upright Bass Pickup Fit the Full Circle to a Bridge Without Wheels Warning!If you have not installed wheels before, please practice on a scrap bridge. Fishman will not be responsible for damages due to improper installation. Preliminary NOTE: In this method we describe how to center the wheels precisely within the taper of the bridge. We like the way the pickup performs when it is exactly centered in the leg. 2. From these points make perpendicular lines down to the foot ("D"). Turn the bridge sideways make a vertical line, centered through the taper of the bridge (line F). Go back to line B and continue it across the thickness of the bridge, perpendicular to line F (both legs). Finally, center a line (G) across the bottom length of each foot. Setup Once the wheels are mounted and the bass is tuned up, thread the white wire through one of the wing holes in the bridge and hold it in place with one of the neoprene plugs from the kit. [. . . ] Line F must be perpendicular to the blade or the wheels will not align properly. If necessary, shim up the bridge to make line B parallel and line F perpendicular to the saw blade. Double sided carpet tape makes an excellent temporary clamp while you cut. After you cut off the feet, enlarge the holes in the legs to 1/4" (6. 4mm) diameter. 3/8" (9. 5 mm) B No Less Than 1 - 1/4" (31. 75 mm) Line B Line F Line A Line C Line D C D A D Threads into Feet B E Line D G Line E Threads Down Illustration D Threads Up Option 2: Threads up (into legs) Start a hole in one foot with a single flute countersink.
