Sunday Morning Clean Up

[waynepunkdude]

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.

+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

Mines due for a good clean and a setup.
The warmer weather cuasing slack on the trussrod.

Going out in a minute, just had a run, going out to play golf, get home for eggs and bacon an hour on the basses then going to do a double feature at the cinema, I love Sundays.

What grade paper do use on the necks Wayne and whats the procedure? A very light sanding and then t cut/polish? Just interested as I think my G&L would benefit from this treatment.

I just rub the back of the neck down with 1500grit just to smooth it down a bit.
