Rough Neck

Hi,
I've got a new Eastman double bass, which is great, but it's got a small patch on the neck that is slightly rough. It's not a big deal but I notice it because it's somewhere I position my thumb a lot.
Has anyone sanded a neck with 600+ sandpaper or similar and oiled with linseed oil? I'd be interested in any tips.
Thanks, Pete

The roughness might be in the finish, then, rather than the wood. You could very, very lightly sand down just that patch and see how it goes - you might be able to smooth it off without going right down to bare wood. I suppose ideally you'd then apply a few coats of a suitable matching varnish, well-thinned, and sand again between each coat...
