Body, Neck, and Fingerboard Care Tips
Tips for Body Care
Finishes: Colored Transparent Satin/Transparent Satin:
The Colored Transparent has a matte and transparent surface that is characterized by visible wood structure and accentuated graining. Satin Finish/Transparent Satin Finish. The surface is either colored (Colored Transparent Satin Finish) or left natural and sealed with a thin layer of clear satin matte lacquer (Transparent Satin Finish). There is no need to take special care of this sealed finish. When the surface becomes dirty, it should be wiped with a damp cloth or cleaned with a non-abrasive spray cleaner available in selected stores.
High Polish Finish:
With a high-polish lacquer, you get a high-polish finish. Under the finish, the wood is sealed completely; it’s smooth as glass and there’s no wood grain showing. The care required for Colored Transparent Satin Finish is limited to the visual aspects. It is recommended that you wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or with a spray cleaner formulated for that purpose, or you can apply a polish that restores the full shine of the finish while removing small scratches and typical traces of play.
Tips for Neck Care:
Natural Transparent Satin Finish is applied to all Warwick RockBass necks. This type of finish requires the same type of care as colored satin/natural transparent satin finishes.
Fingerboard Care Tips:
A Warwick RockBass instrument’s fingerboard is not lacquered, so it requires maintenance once in a while so that it does not become dull or rough.
If you wish to clean and protect your fingerboard, you should use products specially designed for this purpose and that are available at select retail outlets or specialty stores. If you want the right result, read the product information from the manufacturer. You can also use Warwick Beeswax to maintain your fingerboard.
