Using your Cort C4 Deluxe Electric Bass Guitar is easy. Just plug it into an amplifier and start strumming. When you're done playing, unplug it gently to avoid any damage. For cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe the body and strings regularly. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can affect the wood and electronics. When changing the strings, follow the instructions on the D'Addario® EXL165 package. And remember to check the tuning regularly for the best sound.
