| | | | Phenolic fretboard ?
I have a 97 modulus flea bass. The fret board is fading in some areas. And we're we had to get some ca glue off by lightly sanding. Is there anything that will bring the color back out of the phenolic fret board. |

| | | | There is a dye that is used for fiberglass that might work, I could find out what it is if you want. |

| | | | Got a email from moduls
Not to worry, WD-40 will not damage your fingerboard, it is what we use and recommend. However, that is only for phenolic fingerboards (all Modulus Flea basses have phenolic boards), if you have a Modulus neck with a wood fingerboard we recommend using mineral oil.
