If you don't want to use sandpaper, you can apply lubricant like mineral oil, for example. It's safe, odorless, colorless, and it comes off very well. The GHS Fast Fret is partly made for this.

I think I will resort to some fine sandpaper as the steel wool is only working very temporarily. Afterwards, should I apply the danish oil using a rag or paper towel?

Some do, some don't. The last time I did this I didn't put any. I would say it's up to you whether the feel suits you or not.

Well... the first answer that comes to mind, is "Yeah, here's a solution; wash your hands once in a while". But, while a good idea, that one's a little rude... Personally, I don't really have this "sticky neck" problem; my hands are always clean when I pick up a bass or guitar - and they're always very dry. I have a problem that way, in fact; my hands almost never sweat... I have a few basses with painted necks - my 2 Ricks, and my Dano Longhorn, for example - and they aren't the slickest necks in my herd to play, sometimes. They've never been a problem; they just aren't the nicest, quickest necks I own. Those belong to my 2 '98 Dano DC59's. But, if they were a problem? I'd probably do what several others have recommended; use a Scotchbrite pad on them - gently, and as little as necessary...
