The neck on my fender JMJ road worn bass is starting to get sticky the more I play it, I think they rubbed gunk all over the neck as part of the aging process. What should I use to clean it with? It's a maple neck. I'm not sure if I should use body cleaner or fingerboard cleaner? What would you suggest?

Lemon cleaner would get almost any gunk off the finish, but if you want the neck to be satiny - not sticky - then lightly buff the back of the neck with some light gray or maroon Scotchbrite. You don't have to use much pressure, just enough make it smooth.aka Chris Pile, formerly of Six String Fever

I'd suggest cleaner over oil after you do the Scotchbrite trick.Administrator of the SDUGF

Often hard to find in regular hardware stores but you can order it online..
