Hi Guys,

This is my first EBMM. I noticed that the fret board feels exactly the same as the back of the neck.

Can someone tell me if I should oil the fretboard the same as I would the back of the neck?

Haven't put this bass down since it arrived.

Thanks,

I wouldn't since it is Maple and is not same finish as back of neck on my Special with Roasted Maple just use EBMM fretboard cleaner

Had bass little over 2 years and back of neck still like the day I got it

See no need for Wax/Oil at this time

Doing some research they do say fretboard may have slight oil finish and can use tiny amount and wipe immediately
