Delicate cycle, no fabric softener

Hang out to air dry out of direct sunlight

I saw this product, Fret Butter, in random web searching earlier today, sold at StewMac. Supposedly for cleaning fretboards and frets. Maybe someone here has tried it and can comment.

They are both stunning! Who makes those straps?

Beautiful bass @Sailfinn

Shibata · February 25, 2023, 3:38am

This makes me want an Aerodyne. Badly. The nicest looking one I have seen @matt.g.ward.esq Congrats!

Shibata · February 25, 2023, 3:42am

Just looked at Aerodyne Jazz basses on Reverb. Not one of them comes close to being as pretty as @matt.g.ward.esq 's

Glenn · February 25, 2023, 3:50am

That’s a beautiful looking bass!

Glenn · February 25, 2023, 3:53am

So you have Geddy’s rig now, looks great! I am looking for the same!

Walker and Williams

Shibata · February 25, 2023, 4:08am

Thanks… See you in the GAS thread soon

I think Aerodynes are basically the best looking Fender basses in current production. They just look sharp, especially the MIJ exclusive colors.

I still love this Aerodyne P:

John_E · February 25, 2023, 4:19am

Congrats !! That’s one of my faves for sure. Love the knobs.

For the fretboard. Just use a couple applications of F-1 oil. If really bad, use some Gorgomyte cloth to polish the gunk away.

Welcome to the flame maple club!

Wombat-metal · February 25, 2023, 4:19am

I like the Fender Elementals. Aerodynes too

Shibata · February 25, 2023, 4:23am

The one on the left ! All are nice, but that and Matt’s blue will do for me

John_E · February 25, 2023, 4:26am

Matt’s blue is the same one as third from the left in my pic. They are beautiful. The walnut is really nice too. As is the natural. Lol. They all are great. The blue/black stated as blue white but it’s the other ones alter ego now. Lol. Jake and Elwood are their names.

Aerodynes are just amazing basses ans great value for the $$.

MIJ Fenders (and FGN, etc) are the gems of the bass world for sure.

Shibata · February 25, 2023, 4:29am

Do they not do the flame ones currently? I don’t see them anywhere?

Speaking of Jake and Elwood. Those are the names of two of Maryszczyk’s bass models.

howard · February 25, 2023, 4:31am

MIJ in general. Look forward to showing you a huge stash of Black Smokers in the IkeShibu store

Barney · February 25, 2023, 5:00am

That’s a very niche Rush joke, I like

I got roped in to help clean a really filthy Strat for a friend.
I resorted to fretboard oil and an electric toothbush to really agitate the gunk loose.

Its up to you whether its your own toothbrush.
