Guinness21 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 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?

Manton Customs Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The finish won't affect anything to do with a general setup. What is it you're concerned about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkandrew Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 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.

Horizontalste Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) 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 :-/ Edited October 17, 2016 by Horizontalste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
