One reason you might want to use traditional fretboard oil is that it does contain some petroleum which will help remove dirt and built up gunk. In my opinion just cleaning your board with ronsol lighter fluid and really scrubbing the gunk out is much better. Lately I’ve started using Monty’s instrument food wax and I think it’s a big upgrade feel wise.
The other thing no one talks about is polishing your own frets. It’s easy and fairly cheap. The results for cheaper instruments is huge in my opinion. You can get a fret guard and some nail polishing blocks for under $10 total and completely change the feeing of the frets.
Do you use nickel or stainless frets?
@@tylerrayhughes typically nickel, flatwound, or groundwound.
@@jamesmarkham7489 I’m probably one year away from getting these replaced. Using the heck out of them.
@@tylerrayhughes sorry i misread your first message. Always nickel frets. Im sure your f bass is in great shape. My comment was more for others reading who have more affordable instruments. Some of my students had never cleaned or conditioned their boards after nearly 10 years of playing.
Hi Tyler, thanks for the tip. If you have a maple fretboard, would you use the same oil?
Great question! I never condition my maple fretboard. Maple fretboard just gets a wipe down from me.
