Does anyone have a favorite cleaning product they can recommend for my 77 Jazz? |

|  | It's a happy song about not getting what you want | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: NY, Just Like I Pictured It. | | | I like Lizard Spit's products.
I also use the Ernie Ball Wonder Wipes for the body and fretboard. |

| | | | Water on a soft cloth to clean
Mirror Glaze #7 to polish (only needed when selling basses)
Am afraid that cleaning the fingerboard will erase some of the funk! |

Of course, it dries out the fretboard pretty good, so I always use some lemon oil or GHS Fast Fret to moisturize the fretboard afterwords. |

There were already enough good suggestions posted to clean your electric bass.

Not quite as bad as those "friends" with acidic body chemistry that play for 2 minutes and leave you with instantly dead strings.. Waitaminit, next time I'll hand them a bass with flatwounds, since I want those to be as dead as possible!
As far as cleaning:
Gibson Guitar Polish (non-invasive)
Stewart-MacDonald Preservation Polish (deep cleaning)
Stewart-MacDonald Fretboard Finishing Oil (no more frequently than every two years, on rosewood fingerboards or similar) |
