cleanin her up nice

[fleaisamachine]

ok so i love my stingray ALOT! and i was wondering how i should clean the pickup on it, because i heard that that magnets can get rusty or somethin??ive never had a bass where you can see the magnets and such so any help would be appreciated thanks.

You could slap some clear fingernail polish on the pole pieces.

+1 on the clear nail polish, all of my MMs get the treatment

 

[fleaisamachine]

does it mess with the sound at all??

I've played my Sterling a lot over the past six years and do nothing more than keep my hands clean and wipe it down after playing. Not even a hint of rust or anything.

The clear nail polish won't mess with your sound. Neither will the rust that develops if you don't protect the pole pieces.

I wonder if the GREAT Bass Players of our century fuss over their basses like we do here, worrying about rust, pickguard color, pickups, strings, color of our basses, bridges, nuts and such.

It's no wonder our wives think we're morons.

Oh well, enough of this rant, I don't want to waste anymore time, I have to Armor All my guitar case today..........

lol i doubt they fuss over anything they have the money, they can be like hmmm this bass has a smudge on it....get me a new one lol

i dont really "take care" of my stuff. i dont mess them up on purpose... but i dont polish them either. every few string changes ill clean the FB, maybe... but that's as far as i go.

personally i dont plan to sell my stuff and ya, i do like the fact that theyre pretty but not enough to make sure they stay that way

 

[fleaisamachine]

i paid <a bunch of money> for mine, im gunna make sure it stays as awesome as the day i got it for as long as i possible can.

It's not really kosher to post the price you paid for a new EBMM bass on the forum. If you could edit that, I'm sure the EBMM gang would appreciate that.

Well, we are... what's your point?

My wife has the utmost respect for me. She even thinks my buttocks are intelligent (think about it).
