How to clean Bass Guitar?

TAKING CARE YOUR LOVELY BASS

So, what about this? Is this so important, you say? What's the worst thing that can happen?
Well, it's good to do it every once in a while. Your instrument (or parts of it) will definitely be grateful. They will live longer. Hooray. But that again, don't be pedantic freak, it will drive you crazy.
Ok, these are the most important areas (parts) to clean, and how to do it:

PICKUPS - people, don't use any liquids in for cleaning pickups!! They are magnetic, and therefor, don't like liquid. Use some old piece of clothes, or cotton sticks. Dry cleaning!

BODY AND NECK - There's a thing called Guitar polish. Same as furniture polish, but different. You guess right. Because it's for guitar. Use some old cloth again (underwear is the best :) ), and rub-polish-rub. Be careful not to apply it on strings or fingerboard!!

THE FINGERBOARD - For the wooden part: get rid of the dirt, and then place a few drops of fingerboard oil (buy some, lend) on a clean cotton cloth and work it into the wood. Let the oil dry completely before rubbing down the fingerboard again to remove any excess oil. Apply oil to the wood every other time you change the strings. For the frets: well, for this people use a jewelry polishing cloth that has polish already soaked into it (again - buy). The cloth is inexpensive, and your frets will become diamonds. Of course they will. When polishing the frets, don't use an abrasive jewelry polish that you have to pour out of a bottle. That stuff is rough on the wood of the fingerboard.

THE STRINGS - clean the strings after playing (if you want) with a piece of dry cotton cloth. Also, you can use a couple drops of rubbing alcohol (buy me) on a cotton cloth. That's better. Let the alcohol sink into the cloth for a few seconds. Then put a moist section of the cloth between your index finger and thumb and pinch one string at a time, rubbing the cloth up and down along the string's length. Important: don't get any of the alcohol on the wood!!
