Using your Fender Japan Traditional II 60s Precision Bass Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. Plug in your guitar to an amplifier and start strumming. When you're done playing, always keep it in the gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. For maintenance, wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep the gloss polyester finish looking great. Check the strings every few weeks, and replace them when they start to sound dull. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this can damage the wood and the hardware.
