6) Tips for Body, Neck and Fingerboard Care   

Tips for Body Care

Satin Finish (Warwick Alien):

A  matte  and  transparent  surface  with  visible  wood  structure  and

accentuated  grain  is  the  essential  characteristic  of  the  Satin  Finish.

This sealed and non-colored finish does not need special care. If the

surface gets dirty it should be wiped with a damp cloth or with one of

the many non-abrasive spray cleaners available in selected stores or

specialist shops.

High Polish Finish (RockBass Standard and Deluxe):

A  High  Polish  Finish  is  produced  with  the  use  of  a  high  polish  lacquer.  The  wood  is  completely  sealed  under  the  finish;  the 

surface  is  as  smooth  as  glass  and  without  noticeable  wood  grain  structure.  As  with  Satin  Finish,  care  is  limited  to  the 

visual aspects. You can wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or with a suitable spray cleaner, or you can use polish that rein-

states the full shine of the finish and can also get rid of small scratches and typical traces of playing.

Tips for Neck Care

All neck surfaces of Alien acoustic basses are sealed with a Satin Finish. This sealed and non-colored finish does not need spe-

cial care. If the surface gets dirty it should be wiped with a damp cloth or with one of the many non-abrasive spray cleaners avai-

lable in selected stores or specialist shops.

Tips for Fingerboard Care

All fingerboards of Alien acoustic basses are non-lacquered and thus require a little maintenance once in a while to avoid getting

rough or dull. To clean and protect the fingerboard use products specially made for this purpose and that are available at selected

stores or specialist shops. Please refer to the manufacturer’s product information to achieve the desired result.

You can order our cleaning products on our webshop: www.warwick-webshop.de.
