- Buttuna tal-Volum: Controls the overall output level of the bass. Turn clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease.

Manutenzjoni
Proper maintenance will preserve the playability and appearance of your bass guitar.
Tindif
After each use, wipe down the strings and body with a clean, soft cloth to remove sweat and oils. For the body, use a guitar-specific polish occasionally. For the fretboard, use a lemon oil or fretboard conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, especially for laurel wood fretboards.
