Using your Fender Vintera II 60s Jazz Bass is a breeze. First, make sure it's tuned properly using the vintage-style open-back tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier and start strumming. You can adjust the tone and volume to your liking using the controls on the bass. When not in use, keep it in the deluxe gig bag provided to protect it from dust and scratches. For maintenance, clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to keep them sounding great. You can also wipe down the body and fretboard to remove fingerprints and dirt.
