Using your Charvel Pro - Mod San Dimas Bass Guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your strings are properly tuned using the Charvel® Open - Gear tuning machines. Adjust the saddle height if needed, though a saddle height wrench is not provided. When playing, use the volume control to adjust the sound level, and the blend control to mix the sounds from the different pickups. You can switch between active and passive modes using the push/pull selector on the volume control.
For maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and sweat. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and electronics. Check the truss rod periodically to ensure the neck is in good shape. If you notice any issues with the frets, pickups, or other components, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
