Using your Fender FSR Traditional 60s Precision Bass Guitar is straightforward. Just hold the neck comfortably and start strumming or plucking the strings. You can adjust the tuning using the vintage - style tuning machines to get the right pitch. When it comes to playing techniques, experiment with different fingerings on the 20 vintage frets for various sounds. For note changes, move your fingers along the fretboard. Remember, the narrow nut width makes it easy for you to handle, especially if you're a Japanese player. As for maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry and cool place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Clean the body and fretboard gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to replace them. And always keep the gig bag handy to protect your guitar when you're on the move.
