2. Battery for Active Electronics
The active electronics require a 9V battery, located in a compartment on the back of the bass. When the bass is not in use, unplug the instrument cable to conserve battery life. A weak battery can result in distorted sound or no sound at all.
Manutenzjoni
1. Tindif
Regularly wipe down your bass with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove sweat, oils, and dust. For the body and neck finish, use a guitar-specific polish or cleaner sparingly. For the maple fingerboard, a dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. Sostituzzjoni tal-korda
Strings should be replaced periodically, depending on usage, to maintain optimal tone and playability. Replace one string at a time to maintain neck tension. Wind new strings neatly around the tuning posts, ensuring sufficient wraps for stable tuning.

3. Kura tal-Freshboard
The maple fingerboard on your bass has a finish that protects the wood. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using oils or conditioners typically used for unfinished rosewood or ebony fingerboards, as these can damage the finish.
4. Ħażna
Store your bass in its Deluxe Molded Case when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity changes, and physical damage. Avoid exposing the instrument to extreme temperatures or rapid temperature fluctuations.
