Using this electric bass guitar is easy. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned according to your preference. You can adjust the action and intonation of the strings via the MetalCraft M bridge. When playing, use your fingers or a pick to pluck the strings. Be gentle with the Bartolini® MK - 1 pickups as they are sensitive and can produce great sound. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and clean place. Wipe the body with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to lose their tone. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings to relieve the pressure on the neck.
