WHAT'S THE BEST POLISH OR OIL TO USE FOR A NATURAL BASS ?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a few basses, and they all have a natural finish. No paint. One is a walnut bass, the other is maple.

Should I use lemon oil for the walnut bass ? I heard it's not good for maple. I want to maintain a beautiful shine, that protects the finish, as well.

What should I use ? I currently use "Power Chord" , which is really effective, and safe. Is there a better brand for a Peavey Cirrus or a maple Spector ? THANKS !!!

Gunstock oil (contains tung and linseed oils) followed by a rubdown with either Briwax or Butchers (?) wax.
