Cheers bigjohn, i'll definitely have a go at doing that. The board isn't extremely dirty as I do clean it every month when I restring it or give it a quick wipe over after I play it but there's just that bit of build up either side of the frets that you can't wipe away. Hopefully this will sort it all out anyway. I just want a new pre amp for it after this. The Dave McKeen pre-amp I fitted is crap. Sounds so dull. It was apparently out of a Zon bass too which is a big surprise. I'll be taking it out and replacing it with an Aguilar OBP-3 next. I had a Spector Tone Pump (not JR version) installed for a while but that stopped working so I had to put the McKeen one in The Aggy with a set of Seymour Duncan ASB-BO5 Active Blackout Soapbars will sound amazing.

Well thanks for all the help guys. Seems like the overall majority vote goes out to the Dunlop 65 so i've just ordered a bottle of it. Hopefully that'll be here this week some time and i'll get on to getting my Tobi looking pretty again Thanks!

Hey guys The fretboard on my custom Tobias Toby Pro IV is starting to look a bit dirty/dry so I'm wondering what is the best stuff to use on it to revitalise it a bit. I've heard lemon oil is a big no no as it will end up drying it out even more but let me know what you think. It's my most cherished bass so I don't want it to get damaged and have to replace the fretboard if it ends up splitting. Cheers Stevie

Cheers for all the positive feedback guys. I really appreciate it. I hope you're all enjoying the various things I've sold you

Howard bought my broken Korg tuner as a repair project. He paid promptly and was a really nice guy to deal with. I wish you the best of luck with it! Cheers Stevie
