Cleaning Bubinga body

Recommended Posts

OK, after getting back from Sheffield with a nice bubinga bodied bass in my clutches... I'm wondering how to clean it.

It appears to be a natural finish as there are open pores. Can I get away with using Mr Sheen or Pledge on it? or have I got to use something fancy?

PS. Yes I did use the search function and nothing came up... :)

I guess it depends on what finish you wnat to end up with/ keep.....!

I would personally steer clear of the products you mention as they are steeped in man made yukkies...!

Gunstock oil, lemon oil, if you want an oil finish.

Good quality beeswax if you want a wax finish.

Leave it and wipe off if you want an 'au natuaral' finish.

Similar subject matter from Basschat member "pyrolator" on Jan 4th about this.
Warwick make their own brand of wax finish that I'm sure contains Carnuba wax which, if they make it must be the right ingredient for natural finish basses. I think they sell it on their own web site (www.warwickbass.com ?)
The rest of "pyrolator's" chat has more info.
