Using this Fender Japan Traditional II Late 60s Jazz Bass Guitar is easy. First, take it out of the gig bag carefully. Plug it into your amplifier using a suitable cable. You can then start playing and adjust the tone using the pickups and the bridge. To keep your guitar in good shape, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Check the tuning regularly using the 'Lollipop' tuning machines. 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. Also, be gentle when handling the special 75th - anniversary decal to prevent it from peeling off.
