Using your Fender American Ultra II Precision Bass is a joy. First, make sure your bass is properly tuned using the Fender light - weight tuners with tapered shafts. You can switch between active and passive operation using the S - 1 switching feature. Adjust the passive tone control and 3 - band active EQ to get the tone you want. When playing, the tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow you to reach the higher notes easily. For maintenance, keep your bass clean. Use a soft cloth to wipe the body, neck, and strings after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood and hardware. Check the truss rod regularly and adjust it if needed through the access at the headstock. If you're not using the bass for a long time, store it in the deluxe moulded case provided to protect it from scratches and other damage. Also, change the strings periodically to keep the sound fresh and the playability smooth.
