Dingwall NG3 - how to clean a maple fretboard?

[SiriusVI]

Hey everyone,

I have an NG3 Dingwall Nolly Signature Bass. It's the only Bass with a maple fretboard I own. Usually I clean my instruments with fretboard oil regularly and I know you are not supposed to use Lemon Oil on maple fretboards.

However, after a little bit of research, I leanred that many maple fretboards have a finish on them and don't need to be treated with oil at all.

I cannot find any information on the Dingwall page to confirm that this is true for the NG3.

So my questions are:
1. Does the NG3 have a finished or unfinished maple fretboard?
2. If unfinished, which oil should I use to treat it with?
3. If finished, should vI not treat it at all?

Hope someone can help.

Clean it. Don't treat it. Scrub it with a moistened (not wet) rag with the strings off and dry it immediatey with a clean rag.

Interesting thread on what to use and what not to use: Windex and Mr. Clean pre-moistened wipes for cleaning a bass?

If really mucked-up, I've used naphtha on rare occasion.

Most important. Clean your hands BEFORE you pick up the bass. Wipe the bass and strings down immediately after playing with a clean soft tag.
