Guest MoJo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Has anyone ever dyed a fretboard? The reason I ask is I like the look of a dark rosewood or ebony board and am considering dying the fretboard of my P-bass with an ebony dye. My main concern is, will the dye wear off and the fretboard look patchy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I used a water based stain and wiped them off with a cotton bud and they came out ok but I did mask the edge of the fretboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
