Blood everywhere...

[RoadRanger]

What is the best blood type for metal?

"O" Negative of course - great band .

 

[BassKnuckles]

Definitely the best bass for metal right there.
Rust-oleum wax and tar remover, Available from any auto-parts store. I use it on all my basses.
It's not harsh and it has lemon oil in it for a smooth, soft finish.

 

[DwaynieAD]

blood and puke happen.

I didn't know blood had a smell.

Only if you're a vampire or other creature of the night .

Many years ago a buddy bass player friend of mine borrowed my bass ( 1977 4001 Ric ) for a gig.
He hadn't played for a long while and his fingers blood blistered and broke during the gig .
He returned the bass to me with blood all over the fret board , strings, pickups , everywhere - Didn't even clean the mess up.
I haven't spoken to him in over 30 years!!

So I just joined a fast, funky band and I just played a gig with them for the first time. It all went really well, except I cut the tip of my index finger on my left hand just before getting on stage and this was the result at the end of 2 sets. Looks kind of cool haha, but how do I clean the fretboard? It's sort of stained...don't worry about the strings they're old and replaceable.

You don't.

The mojoist of all mojo.

This story has inspired me greatly, I have the pleasure to bring you this - obviously - strictly bass-related Haiku :

Trust too much your friend
Now there is blood on your wood
Disgust and anger

That sounds like an entirely different situation to me...

 

[RandomBox]

You cut your hand and still finished the set, covering your bass in blood?

 

[Korladis]

Why would that result in disgust and anger?

 

[RSBBass]

Yep super glue has gotten me through a few gigs.

Gfbass, Huckleberry1 is right, but if you got all the visible blood off, and are only worried about the smell, you can either do what Huck mentioned, or leave it for about two weeks. As the blood decomposes (ROCKANDROLLLL) the smell will fade away.

on the finish, naphtha mixed with water on paper towels works pretty well, and doesn't itself leave anything behind. for exposed rosewood fretboards just use #0000 steel wool to clean the wood and shine the frets at the same time.

(and yes, get that off of there, it's just nasty.)

 

[Korladis]

I don't think you should wash it off.

Mojo.

I's spray a layer of clearcoat over it.

Finally, someone who agrees with me.

The blood should stay on the bass. It's the ultimate mojo.
