bob_atherton Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Just bought a 'new' Fender Custom Shop 63 P bass. Very nice but never really liked that stripped back of neck thing. My guitarist swears by Tung oil on these necks, but my tech says to use high quality Danish oil as it has a small content of polyurethane, which he says is better than Tung oil. He also said use Tung oil if you want but in his opinion Danish is the way to go. Any thoughts and advice? Thanks. I want to put something on the neck so is there another option. Cheers.

tegs07 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Just to complicate matters I prefer Birchwood Casey Tru Oil Used mainly for gunstocks but find the finish nicer than Tung or Danish. From the smell I would say it contains Tung but isn’t as thick to apply. Edited April 4 by tegs07 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Danish contains a small amount of lacquer, and can get tacky if applied thick or too many coats without ample drying and curing. The lacquer in it is to give a more durable and sealed finish... Prefer a Tung or Tru Oil 'n Wax finish, enough of a seal with a more Organic feel. I'd get some 0000 Wire Wool to apply it.
