Back in the old days I could take a can of lemon pledge and clean my bass. Now pledge seems to gunk everything up.
Suggestions?

I've used Old English scratch remover on old battered wood with oil as an original finish.
EDIT: For the oil finish on my current favorite bass, the maker recommended Howard's Feed and Wax. It nourishes the wood and leaves it silky afterwards. And it smells good.

Other than I usually use some Dunlop #49 or whatever it is called, maybe some lemon on the fretboard, depends on the fretboard.

I think we will eventually become the same person, Phalex. I've seen you around, and we agree on most things.

Usually just put them out on a windy day, just to lightly freshen them up. |
