Hey guys - you can get a package of 25 microfiber towels at Sams for $12.50  
I keep one in each bass case.
I also keep one in the glove box of all my cars.
Don't wash them, just toss when they get dirty.
 
 

Or you can get 5 for $10 from Ed Roman!  lol
 
Bill, tgo

I heard that Ed Roman's are ghostbuilt by Bruce Becvar.

did ed roman do that shooting i read about?

No, but he invented gun powder!
 
Bill, tgo

Samuel Colt's original six-gun was ghostbuilt.
 
And I can sell you a better version.

I recently did a major cleaning on my Alembic. I removed the strings, the tail piece, nut, tuning pegs and took the bridge apart. I used pure lemon oil on the fretboard, a guitar polish on the body, neck and headstock and used a multi use metal cleaner on the brass parts. I used a dremel tool to clean and polish the hardware including the Alembic logos. The logos showed signs of polishing so I used a soft electric toothbrush to get the polish out of the small crevices in the logos. I put everything back together, put new strings on it, adjusted the height, set the intonation and put a new battery in it. The bass sounds better than ever. It's amazing how much tone and sustain you lose due to a little dirt. This will now become part of my annual routine. I have owned this bass longer than any other's and I can't ever imagine getting rid of it.

Many,many moons ago(30yrs) I had used an Ernie Ball product that sort of smelled like bananas,came out white and dryed to a flat finish. One simply wiped it away with minimum effort and it left a very shiney finish. It was in a pump spray bottle.Being older and hopefully wiser is/was this product any good? I'm sure some company is still making it.Selling it as the next holy grail, Hey look at this new thing, Anybody have any experiences,leads,comments? I'd be interested to try it again on my non Alembics.

Barry,
 
The banana smell almost certainly means that it had carnauba wax in it.  You can probably repeat your earlier experience by using a different carnauba based wax.

Ajax and a Brillo Pad, that's all I ever used on the Further.

Ajax and a Brillo pad!!
Do you still have a fretboard?
Shit-if it works-it works!
 
Goodonya

You get ajax and brillo pads in the states? We're obviously not that different after all ;-)

I'm guessing that he's being a bit facetious.
