Non-PBG RBX Style Bass Guitar Kit RBX-20 from DIY Guitars

Rosewood doesn't need waxing, though you can do it if you want. Lemon oil is the standard seasoner/cleaner for rosewood and ebony boards. You board will probably be quite dry (the Aussie heat doesn't help) so will probably soak up several applications to start with. It will also darken the board considerably. Once it stops soaking up the oil, wipe off the excess and the rest should soak in or evaporate. You should then only need to re-apply a light coat every 6 months or so. If you use the bass a lot, then I'd suggest a yearly strings-off fret polish and fingerboard clean.

Hi Simon thanks for the tip I'll order some now. Hopefully it will dry quickly. I'm looking forward to putting all the electronics in this one soon.

Cheers,

Hi Simon I have done a few searches and there is a variety on the auction/buy it now site. Could you recommend what you use?
