Tips for Body Care
Colored Oil Finish / Natural Satin Finish:
A matte and transparent surface with visible wood structure
and accentuated grain are the essential characteristic of the
Colored Oil / Natural Satin Finish. Here the surface is eit-
her color stained (Colored Oil Finish) or the wood stays
natural and sealed with a thin layer of clear satin matte
lacquer (Natural Satin Finish). This sealed and non-colo-
red finish does not need special care. If the surface gets
dirty it should be wiped with a damp cloth or with one of
the many non-abrasive spray cleaners available in
selected stores or specialty shops.
High Polish Finish:
A High Polish Finish is produced with the use of a high polish lacquer. The wood is completely sealed under the finish; the
surface is as smooth as glass and without noticeable wood grain structure. As with Colored Oil/Natural Satin Finish, care is
limited to the visual aspects. You can wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or with the correspondingly suited spray clea-
ners, or you can use polish that reinstates the full shine of the finish and can also get rid of small scratches and typical traces
of playing.
Tips for Neck Care
All RockBass necks are sealed with Natural Satin Finish. The care procedure thus is the same as with Coloured Oil/Natural
Satin finished bodies.
Tips for Fingerboard Care
All fingerboards that come standard with RockBass
®
basses are not lacquered and thus require a little maintenance once in a
while to avoid getting rough or dull.
To clean and protect the fingerboard use products specially made for this purpose and that are available at selected stores or
specialist shops. Please refer to the manufacturer’s product information to achieve the desired result. You can also use the
Warwick Beeswax for your fingerboard’s maintenance.
