+1 to this. I've been using this version: Miracle Cloth
According to other people on here, this is exactly the same thing. Did an awesome job on my frets. Made by Dunlop.
Thanks for the info guys. I hit up Rustoleum to see what they recommend as a substitute:
Thank you for contacting Rust-Oleum Product Support. You are correct that the Watco Timberex products are not available in the U.S.; these products are manufactured in Europe. We hate to disappoint, but...
Hi all, coming to you for wisdom and guidance.
First off I just acquired this really nice MIJ Bacchus bass guitar. Really great quality and I'm loving it.
That being said, the body is ash finished with a black oil finish and I'm not exactly sure about how to maintain it.
From their website...
I'm a guitarist really, but I always loved his bass playing and I was watching reverb also for those. STP just always has such cool bass parts. Almost bought one and ended up getting a Bacchus Japanese P bass instead. It's awesome and was the right call. Lots of the recorded stuff was different...
I had a McNaught with SS frets and it played amazingly. I'm spoiled now and using nickel again is noticably different. Granted those came in it from the start, but I didn't notice any abnormal brightness or anything like that.
I will definitely put SS on my LP at some point and get rid of the...
If I remember correctly he said in a GW interview around the time of Tiny Music that he was using a lot of P90s and teles along with weird old small tube combos cranked all the way up.
I think Core was mostly his Demeter pre and VHT 2150 with a Les Paul.
I have a 2001 Standard that I got pretty cheap a few years ago. It's not super heavy at a little under 10 lbs. I believe they called it a "rounded" neck profile then which I'm told is basically a '59 profile kind of in between 50s and 60' profiles.
I also have a 2002 Studio with the same neck...
Label: Ugh alright. You guys win. Well I guess we can live with this...it's still songs more or less? I guess it's maybe not so weird.
Talk Talk: Sweet. Oh yeah, there's this too (hands over Laughing Stock)
Label: Fuuuuuuuuuuu
I'd imagine Warner Bros were less than excited when the Flaming...
I have a thick strap that I could never get to work with the old version, but no problems at all with the new ones. They also lock on the strap better because of the screw they added.
Comparing it to online pics and my own LP the front of the headstock seems good actually. Location of the TRC is correct according to the Gibson site pics from back then. I think it might be the light reflecting from the embossed numbers and not painted in white.
But the font doesn’t match...
I would sell the SAS if you can get it back and just buy a LP.
FWIW I have a 2001 standard which is an awesome guitar, I believe same specs as the 2000. The resale on that time period seems to be not good for whatever reason. I got mine for 1300 and I’ve seen a few on reverb around that price...
Can't comment on the pickups as I haven't tried any of them, but as far as gates go I love the ISP Decimator. Worked really well with the P90 guitar I had and everything else too.
Here's another wreck-inspired amp:

I haven't played it, but Trace's stuff is all quality. I think he said he's had a few wrecks through the shop. Pretty sure it's not an actual clone though.
I got mine on Friday. I posted this review on the HC forums so I'll just paste it here. I'm still playing with it, but it's a keeper that's for sure. Only thing I'm not crazy about is doing wah with the Line 6 pedal I'm using, but I could probably get used to it. Not a fault of Eventide at all...
