Plug it into an amplifier and adjust the volume and tone settings to get your desired sound. When playing, use your fingers or a pick on the strings. For different tones, experiment with the two single - coil pickups. As for maintenance, keep your bass clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and sweat. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and hardware. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. The bridge and other hardware parts should be tightened occasionally to ensure everything stays in place.
