waynepunkdude Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Had all the basses out this morning, gave them all a clean up, lem oiled the rosewood necks, sanded the back of the necks that need doing, sorted out any intonation problems and boiled the string (except the 70's Jazz that's suppose to sound dull). 2 hours of work now all my basses are tip-top, I'd recommend it to anyone.

munkonthehill Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 +1 on that wayne. I dont bother with boiling strings. But I do love having my boys gleeming clean. Both get a good clean with dunlop 65 and the Jag gets the lemon juice on its fretboard to make it nice and lush. The Ric has a varnished neckboard so looks amazing all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
