Konserwacja
1. Czyszczenie
Regularly wipe down your bass with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove sweat, oils, and dust. For the body and neck finish, use a guitar-specific polish or cleaner sparingly. For the maple fingerboard, a dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. Wymiana strun
Strings should be replaced periodically, depending on usage, to maintain optimal tone and playability. Replace one string at a time to maintain neck tension. Wind new strings neatly around the tuning posts, ensuring sufficient wraps for stable tuning.
