Yes it is my friend! That is exactly what I got and I actually ordered it directly through their website. It came in like a week which is not bad. :)

Thanx Roubster ,I shall commence with the orderin'!:D
 
Sounds good. Just remember not to leave the Oil on for too long, because it's gonna start hardening and you dont want that. Let us know how it goes once you do the procedure :D.
 
A lot of gun shops carry it- that's where I found it. If you can't find it locally, call BC and they'll steer you towards a distributor.
 
Still havent gotten round to re-finishing the neck on my SUB, but just for when I get round to it (2 weeks off college starting tomorrow!) is this the stuff I should be plopping onto it once I've sanded the back of the neck down? Cheers.

I rubbed on a couple thin coats of the Tru-Oil finish on a warmoth neck (no more than I would with a poly finish), with some 0000 steel wool in between the coats, and it actually turned out great-- very liquidy looking, deep and rich, but different from a clear gloss poly. Hardens about 90% in a day, then seems to get more dense in a few days. Never used the wax on it, though.

are the sub line of instuments all Painted Necks? because if they are then NO OIL OR WAX
the oil and wax treatment are only for the unfinished necks

Yeah, I'd never put anything on a painted neck, I'm gonna sand the paint off as I get on with natural necks a lot more.
