Using your Fender Traditional Late 60s Jazz Bass is easy. First, plug it into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Then, adjust the volume and tone knobs to get the sound you like. The bridge and middle pickups give you different tonal options, so play around with them to find your sweet spot. When it comes to maintenance, keep your bass clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or fingerprints after each use. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and electronics. Check the strings regularly and change them when they start to sound dull or lose their tone. Also, make sure the tuning machines are working properly to keep your bass in tune. When you're not using it, store it in the provided gig bag to protect it from scratches and bumps.
