saxofunk Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I also found some references to polyester sealants. I don't have time to Keep On Googlin' right now, lunch hour is over. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juancarlin Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Darwin Award nomination? VERY probably Don´t remember where I read/heard about it.. but wasn´t it safer to remove frets by heating them a little bit with a soldering iron, then removing them smoothly with pliers? I will take a trip to the hardware store later this afternoon. Let´s see what can I come up with. Hopefully this will be a Fretboard bricolage week-end.

Juancarlin Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 For a Darwin Award the chisel would need to be aimed at his femoral artery! ...but the hammer is probably in the right direction... AFAIK, the Darwin award involves lack of procreation ability, not necessarily death in itself...

saxofunk Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Darwin Award is for finding a creative way to remove yourself from the gene pool, or die, whichever is most fatal. This kid is opening a home vasectomy clinic. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Try HG Thor for advice on epoxy coating for necks. I have used Harris's services and I can vouch for the quality of the finish. http://www.woodwiz.com/epoxy/ Davo "We will make you bob your head whether you want to or not". - David Sisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1111000 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Maybe I shouldn't have said never. Do Rickenbacker basses have a finish on the fingerboard? The bubinga on Ricky necks is finished with some kind of lacquer. I don't find it changes anything much about the feel. If you lurk over on rickenbacker.com's Just Basses forum, a guy name iiipopes over there is the resident expert on all things technical, and I believe he explained it to me on one thread. Hang on... nope. I can't find it for the life of me. But if you really are curious you could ask him; he's quite the authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
