Today I took delivery of Elmo- a custom order of a JBB-5TN model bass, with an unlined fretless maple fingerboard. As with his predecessor Imhotep, Elmo is a spectacular instrument with fantastic sustain and a great sound.
Elmo's neck appears to have no finish in it. Which isn't a problem in itself, but I thought I'd canvass the hivemind about the widsom of putting a finish on the maple fingerboard. What would one use, or should one bother? Answers on a postcard, etc...
