Using your Fender Japan Junior Collection Jazz Bass Guitar is easy. First, take it out of the gig bag. Make sure the strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. The 30 - inch scale makes it comfortable to play chords, so start strumming away. When you're done playing, put it back in the gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
For maintenance, keep the guitar clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe the body and strings after each use. The nickel - chrome hardware may need occasional cleaning to prevent tarnishing. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tension, it's time to replace them with new nickel - plated steel strings of the same gauge (.045 -.105). And always store the guitar in a dry place to avoid any damage to the wood or electronics.
