For my cheapy bass, I just wipe it down when I'm finished. But for my new Orion (ebony fretboard), do I need to do anything more as far as treatment/maintenance? I was concerned that the salt from the sweat might have some long-term affects on the ebony. I want to keep the bass in new condition forever...or as long as I can. Any input will be appreciated. dadabass2001 Advanced Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 228 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, August 30, 2004 - 6:10 pm:    Search on the club (up in the right corner) for "Lemon Oil".

You must have Dr. Snitz's NEWfangled medicinal lemon oil and brewing compound! Takes the schvitz right off your fretboard! kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 433 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2004 - 5:42 am:    Oy Vey, Such a thing!
