Here are some things to keep in mind. Avoid exposing the bass to extreme temperatures or humidity, as it can damage the wood and affect the tuning. When not in use, store it in a proper case. To maintain it, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. You can also clean the body and fretboard regularly with appropriate guitar cleaning products. Check the tuning machines and bridge periodically to make sure they're working properly.
