Using your Fender Squier Affinity Series Jazz Bass V is easy. First, make sure your bass is in tune using the vintage - style tuning machines. The two volume controls let you adjust the sound from the neck and bridge pickups separately, and the master tone control helps you shape the overall tone. When you're done playing, always store your bass in a proper case to protect it from damage. Keep the strings clean by wiping them down after each use to prevent corrosion. Every few months, you may want to change the strings for better sound quality. Also, check the truss rod regularly to ensure the neck is in good shape. If you notice any issues with the tuning or the sound, don't hesitate to take it to a professional for a check - up.
