Welcome Thank you for choosing Fishman. We are proud to offer you professional-grade amplification products and accessories that will empower you to sound your very best. Please read through this User Guide to familiarize yourself with the operation of your Rare Earth Bajo Quinto pickup.
If you travel with your bajo quinto or store it for long periods with the pickup in place, we strongly recommend that you have the endpin jack permanently installed in the bajo quinto. Installation instructions for professional installers are available from Fishman Support at www. fishman.com/support.
Battery Replacement Remove the pickup from the instrument and carefully pry out the batteries with a small flat- head jeweler’s screwdriver. When you replace the batteries, observe the correct polarity. Note that plus (+) and minus (-) polarity marks are molded into the shell of the battery clip. See page 4 for battery requirements.

Pickup Voicing The Rare Earth Bajo Quinto Pickup has been carefully voiced to reproduce a balanced string response. If your instrument has very high action on the bass side or very low action on the treble side, you may hear slight imbalance between the outside strings. In these cases, raise the bass side of the pickup with a shim.

Pickup Type Humbucking A “stacked coil” style, for musicians who demand full, rich acoustic tone with quieter reproduc- tion than a single coil pickup can offer. A thumbwheel volume control, located on the bottom of the pickup, is easily accessible through the soundhole. For the lowest noise performance keep the control at the highest setting.
