Using your Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass V is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Fender light - weight tuners. You can easily switch between active and passive modes with the S - 1 switching to get different tonal effects. Adjust the passive tone control and 3 - band active EQ to find your ideal sound. When you're done playing, make sure to put it in the deluxe moulded case to protect it. Keep the instrument in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the truss rod adjustment at the headstock to keep the neck in good shape. If you notice any issues with the pickups or the preamp, it's best to take it to a professional for servicing.
