Recommend luthiers in the north west/merseyside? EBMM neck finish

[Guinness21]

I want my bass to have an MOT, raise the action a little - usual stuff. Because it's a stingray though, it has a gunstock oil and wax finish on the back of the neck. Asked a few people and they've never dealt with that type of neck finish. Can anybody recommend anyone?

The finish won't affect anything to do with a general setup. What is it you're concerned about?

I mean I'm after having a setup and having the neck finish sorted in one go, by somebody who has experience of stingray neck finishes

Ernie Ball have put quite a good video online on how to do the neck yourself. Basically you wipe the neck with some oil soap (or you can use EB fret board Wonder Wipes), followed by a little tru oil on a rag and then a couple of light coats of some gunstock wax. The Wonder Wipes cost about £5 for a pack of 6 and the tru oil and gunstock wax cost about £10 each. It was quite simple to do but you need to be careful to not over do the tru oil as it's more of a varnish than an oil and you want to use the smallest amount possible.

Jon Shuker did an awesome job on mine, removed all the oil, lacquered & re-fretted with stainless frets.
He's in the peak district.


*edit, sorry thought you said re-finish, it's been a long day :-/
