Storage & Travel
Your bass is a piece of art that must be pro-
tected. When you are traveling with your instru-
ment, loosen the tuning knobs a turn or two to
take pressure off the neck, and protect it with
a gig bag or case. While a gig bag offers some
protection, mainly from dust, a hardshell case
offers the best protection. If you plan to store
your bass for a long period of time (we don't
know why you would want to), remember to
slightly loosen your strings to relieve pressure
on the neck. As with any piece of art, don't
throw it in your trunk and leave it in -10° or 110°
weather! Always keep you bass stored at room
temperature, and avoid extreme changes in
temperature or humidity.
