Sign in to disble this ad
My girlfriend was eating tortilla chips and nacho cheese last night... This morning I woke up to play my Cirrus 6 Bubinga with a rosewood fingerboard to find a disgusting dark yellow gloop on it.
My bass was sitting BEHIND her, and somehow she got about a 1 cm x 1 cm glob on the fingerboard. Couldn't tell if it was rat poop, chocolate, or what, till I smelled it up close. I cleaned most of it with a papertowel and water, but there's still a small smudge on it.
What should I use to get it out? Alchohol? It rather smells bad too. |

You can also use rubbing alcohol. After that, and if the FB wood shows itself dry, apply a teeny tiny drop of boiled lineseed oil in a clean cloth and rub the oil into the FB. |
