Polishing frets

[Yorkshire Bottom End]

After lots of sweaty rehearsals and gigs over the past few months I thought I'd give my Stingray some TLC.

As a watch collector (as well as a bass collector) I tried this stuff I had and it works really well. Be gentle.

Few quid online and it can be used over and over.

Finished my (now) super shiny Sire. All ready for the Christmas gigs...

Just bought a bag. Let's give 'um a go!

Nice, I'd love to give them a try.

I always use these, working my way up from coarse to fine: Micro-Mesh Soft Pads Set – Thomann 

I tried the rubber Hosco pads too, but they only come in fairly coarse varieties so they can't be used by themselves without finishing with something finer.

The Cape Cod ones are around £6 or £7 on ebay/Amazon. Listed under 'watch polishing cloths' usually. They work a treat.

 

Give it a week and my basses will be covered in finger gravy again but they'll look nice for a bit.

I like the little micromesh pads - there's a nice set of small squares of all of the grits on amazon
