Using this Fender Squier Affinity Series Jazz Bass is a breeze. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. Just turn the knobs gently until you get the right pitch. You can adjust the volume of the neck and bridge pickups separately with the control knobs. The master tone control lets you fine - tune the overall sound. When it comes to playing, the thin body and slim 'C' - shaped neck make it very comfortable to hold and move your fingers around the fretboard. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. You can also use a guitar polish on the body to keep it looking shiny. Be careful when adjusting the truss rod. If you're not sure, it's best to take it to a professional. And when you're not playing, use a guitar case to protect it from bumps and scratches.
