Using your Cort Rob Elrick Signature NJS4 bass guitar is a breeze. Just sit down, hold it comfortably, and start strumming the strings. You can adjust the tone and volume using the controls on the bass. For a warmer sound, try using the neck pickup, and for a brighter sound, switch to the bridge pickup. When you're done playing, always put your bass back in its case to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep your bass in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Wipe down the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. Once in a while, check the tuning machines to make sure they're working properly and the strings are at the right tension. If you notice any issues with the frets or pickups, it's a good idea to take it to a professional for maintenance.
