10 NS-NXT4/5a Radius Bass Owner’s ManualRe-Stringing and TuningThis bass accepts any standard single-ball end,full-scale bass guitar strings. The way the stringsare clamped leaves them undamaged and withoutthe usual windings on the end. This lets you easilytake them out (e.g. for cleaning) and put them backon the bass as often as desired.1 Turn the tuning knob fully counter-clockwise toloosen the string, until the slotted tuning arm isin the frontmost position (towards the bridge).The clamping mechanism opens up and you can pullthe string(s) out.
