Lakland Skyline fret cleaning?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I haven't had my Skyline 44-02 out much until recently, and it could do with a fresh set of strings and a set up really.

I do all this sort of thing myself and for others, but I'm a little bit concerned about cleaning the frets, as the maple neck seems fairly unfinished to me. Normally I would mask the neck and use careful amounts of brasso, then clean the fretboard afterwards, but I don't want to make everything turn into a big horrible dark smudge.

Has anyone got any tips or advise?

All help much appreciated! Thanks in Advance,
Lorry

After a bit of research, I think I'm going to try the 0000 grade wire wool method after masking the fretboard. Hopefully that will be safe!

Hi, I allways use the 00000 grade steelwool, wich i belive to be smoother than wirewoll. It´s perfectly safe for this kind of work. With little effort Your frets will look like new and your fretboard wont be a mess.

Just to let you all know the set-up went really well last weekend, and the bass plays fantastic!

The wire wool methods works fantasically, but it does leave a lot of mess. i don't mind though!
