Operating Your Bass
Контроль надview
The Player Plus Jazz Bass features a control layout designed for intuitive tone shaping.

- Регулятор гучності: Controls the overall output level of the instrument.
- Pan/Blend Knob: Blends the output between the neck and bridge pickups. Turning it clockwise favors the bridge pickup, counter-clockwise favors the neck pickup.
- 3-Band Active EQ Knobs:
- ВЧ: Регулює високі частоти.
- Середній: Регулює середні частоти.
- Бас: Регулює низькі частоти.
- Active/Passive Toggle Switch: This switch allows you to select between active (powered by battery, utilizing the 3-band EQ) and passive (traditional tone, no battery required for basic function, EQ knobs are bypassed) modes.
Playing in Active Mode
In active mode, the 3-band EQ provides significant tonal flexibility. Experiment with the Treble, Mid, and Bass controls to shape your sound. This mode requires a 9V battery to function.
Playing in Passive Mode
Flipping the toggle switch to passive mode bypasses the active EQ circuit. In this mode, the bass operates like a traditional passive Jazz Bass, and the EQ knobs will not affect the tone. The volume and blend controls remain functional.
Технічне обслуговування
1. прибирання
- Тіло та шия: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the body and neck after each use to remove sweat and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning, use a guitar-specific polish or cleaner sparingly.
- Дошка: For maple fingerboards, a damp cloth can be used to remove grime. Avoid excessive moisture. Periodically, a specialized fretboard cleaner can be applied.
- Обладнання: Wipe down bridge, tuners, and control knobs with a dry cloth.
2. Заміна рядків
Strings should be replaced regularly, depending on playing frequency and personal preference. Old strings can lose their tone and intonation. Replace one string at a time to maintain neck tension.
3. Заміна батареї
If the sound becomes weak or distorted in active mode, or if there is no sound at all, the 9V battery likely needs replacement. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup for instructions. Always remove the battery if the instrument will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
4. Зберігання
Store your bass in a climate-controlled environment, ideally in a gig bag or hard case, to protect it from temperature and humidity fluctuations, which can affect the wood and finish.
