Hi, I am wondering what the best process to take care of the wenge fretboard on my Streamer Stage I is? The supplied manual states using 'special oil' but doesn't give any more hints than that. I usually use lemon oil on my rosewoods but have never owned wenge before now. Any tips? All the...

I dabble in TalkBass forums, and it has dawned on me that I don't give two shits about the brand of bass or amp (etc) the "pros" play. This came from a topic about Victor Wooten playing (trying) Hartke gear. I enjoy the technique and musicality more than anything. This is not to say I don't...

Hi dudes and dudettes, I've just got a Corvette Double Buck in Nirvana Black. I always clean my basses down after a gig. If it's a normal polyester finish - I'll spray with a bit of furniture polish, and give it a good clean (but not the fingerboard). What should I do about my Warwick...

First question; is the ebony fretboards on the thumb finished? and, what is the best stuff to take care of the fretboard? I was looking at Dean Markley love potion #15, but it says its for unfinished finger boards. my fretboard has some dull spots on it and iam trying to get rid of them :)

What products do you use for fingerboard care? I want to buy Dunlop fingerboard 01 and Dunlop fingerboard 02. I have a Warwick Streamer LX. Should i buy Dunlop Fretboard 65 Ultimate Lemon Oil ? Is better then the other two? Tnks !
