Hi all, I recently started playing again after a 37 year hiatus and have acquired, apart from a fretted EB3, a Fender Bass that has a Precision body and a lined fret-less Jazz neck, the rosewood fingerboard of which has a polyester finish, supposedly to permit the use of round wound strings. If this is the case, how long is this coating likely to last before chewing occurs? Would I be better off using flats, and if so what trade offs are there in using them as opposed to rounds?. Would there be a loss of sustain and effect on intonation? Loss of mwah?
Any help greatly appreciated, thank you, Dave.
