3. Підключення до Ampлібератор
Connect one end of a standard 6.35mm (1/4-inch) instrument cable to the output jack located on the lower bout of the bass body. Connect the other end of the cable to the input of your bass ampрятувальник. Переконайтеся, що ваш amplifier is turned off or at a low volume before connecting or disconnecting the cable to prevent sudden loud noises.
Operating the Bass
1. Контрольview
Your American Ultra II Jazz Bass V features a sophisticated active electronics system with a 3-band EQ for precise tonal shaping. Familiarize yourself with the control layout:
- Основний том: Контролює загальний рівень вихідного сигналу басів.
- Pan Pot (Pickup Blend): Blends between the neck and bridge pickups. Turn clockwise for more bridge pickup, counter-clockwise for more neck pickup.
- Контроль високих частот: Підсилює або знижує високі частоти.
- Контроль середніх частот: Boosts or cuts mid frequencies.
- Регулювання басів: Підсилює або зменшує низькі частоти.
- Active/Passive Switch: A push/pull pot on the volume knob allows you to switch between active (with EQ) and passive (volume and blend only) modes. In passive mode, the EQ controls are bypassed.

2. Battery for Active Electronics
The active electronics require a 9V battery, located in a compartment on the back of the bass. When the bass is not in use, unplug the instrument cable to conserve battery life. A weak battery can result in distorted sound or no sound at all.
Технічне обслуговування
1. прибирання
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. Заміна рядків
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.

3. Догляд за грифом
The maple fingerboard on your bass has a finish that protects the wood. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using oils or conditioners typically used for unfinished rosewood or ebony fingerboards, as these can damage the finish.
4. Зберігання
Store your bass in its Deluxe Molded Case when not in use to protect it from dust, humidity changes, and physical damage. Avoid exposing the instrument to extreme temperatures or rapid temperature fluctuations.
