solo4652 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm looking to tidy up the back and side of the neck on this bass: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=150300&hl=Ibanez+Blazer"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...l=Ibanez+Blazer[/url] I've had a tentative go with wet and dry and this has been promising. Virtually all of the minor dings have been removed and the discoloured areas are now smooth to the touch. Some of the neck lacquer has been removed and I'm now thinking about very lightly sanding all of the neck to completely remove the lacquer. What would I finish the neck with? I'm looking for a smooth, non-sticky, matt finish - doesn't have to be shiny-glossy. Oil? If so, what type? Something else? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I personally like to nitro lacquer a neck to seal it then rub it back to a satin finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Danish oil is easy and feels nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 No sailing today - too tired from last week's 7-day regatta. So, following a B&Q trip, I sanded the neck with very fine grade wet-and-dry, then 2 coats of Denmark oil. 3rd coat tomorrow. All the dings and scrapes have been removed and the discoloured area has been toned down a bit. The finish is lovely and smooth. Thanks for your help.
