Neck refinish (possibly not lacquer)

[solo4652]

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?

I personally like to nitro lacquer a neck to seal it then rub it back to a satin finish.

Danish oil is easy and feels nice.

It's pretty good stuff but you have to remember that it will want re coating every once in a while.

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.
