Using your Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 5HH electric bass guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your bass is properly tuned using the custom Music Man tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier, adjust the 4 - band EQ to get the sound you like. The dual humbucking pickups with Neodymium magnets will give you a rich and powerful tone. When not in use, keep your bass in a case to protect it from scratches and dings. Clean the body with a soft, dry cloth regularly to maintain the high - gloss finish. For the fretboard, use a fretboard cleaner and conditioner to keep it in good condition. Change the strings every few months or when they start to sound dull. Always be gentle when handling the hardware, especially the bridge and tuning machines, to ensure they last a long time.
