sunlight or other source of excessive heat, humidity or shock. Caution: It is important to avoid sudden changes in temperature, since this causes the wood to expand at a different rate than the finish, which may result in checking. While this condition does not affect the tone, it does affect the appearance. Let the instrument warm up in its own case. Then open the case slowly, allowing warm air to enter gradually. After the instrument is removed, leave the case open so it too can warm up thoroughly. String tension should be reduced during shipping to avoid possible damage. Dirty, corroded or worn strings cause loss of sustain, loss of treble frequencies, and faulty intonation. Fresh strings add to the enjoyment and tonal quality of your bass. Change them often, using Fender strings. Basses are strung at the factory with Fender's 1000 set of Stainless Steel strings, gauges .045 to .105. If your bass needs repair work, refer all such work to your Authorized Fender Dealer whose trained personnel and complete service facilities will assure your satisfaction. 15
