You can use grade 0000 very light steel wool to clean your fretboard. I personally use GHS Fast Fret to finish cleaning the fretboard and give it a nice shine and smooth feeling.

Edit: downvotes? Classic /r/guitar lol.

Fast Fret is legit.

I looked in my gig bag for inspiration - it turns out that I just have way too much shit in there, most of which is under £15. Cheaper DIY options offered where applicable:

The snark SN2 clip-on tuner. Absolute must-have.
A decent multi-tool
Allan Key Set if the multi-tool doesn't have the right sizes (metric is normal unless you play something made across the pond, but in case you need imperial, and have lots of space in your gig bag)
Dunlop strap locks are a solid addition to any bassist's set-up
Some fret-fast (I'm too lazy and disorganised to get new strings very often - you could just sub a rag and white mineral oil, but this is a convenient little package)
A couple of spare 9V batteries for your bass, or your (more likely your guitarist's) pedals
A fold-away bass stand that you can take to practices, comes in just over budget, but is a good addition and folds up to about the size of a tube of Pringles
Some cheap bric-a-brac like electrical tape, gaffer tape, write-on-anything pens - all good additions
A decent set of ear-plugs to protect your hearing
Foldaway music stand if you ever play with sheet music; alternatively, if you have a car or are near public transport then this guy might be more bang for your buck; light in case you have one and play in dark venues sometimes and bag in case, like me, you're always leaving the house on gig-day carrying too much
Patch cables if you use several stomp-boxes or rack units
Cable ties to stop your cables getting mangled (can always use zip-ties instead - less neat but much cheaper)
A cheap soldering iron is not essential, but it will be good to have one for that odd occasion where you need it - I've actually been in situations where I've saved some poor soul's night (occasionally mine) by having one of these on my person
Owning a padded guitar strap has saved me much back pain over the years.
A decent torch for last-minute backstage repairs and adjustments, lighting your pedalboard, etc

Conspicuous consumerism at its finest, ladies and gents.

You might want to try Cleartone strings. They use a newer and thinner coating technology than Elixir strings. They don't last quite as long as Elixirs, but they feel and sound more like uncoated strings.

I'd also suggest wiping down your strings after every session. Wiping your strings will remove dirt, but it'll also prevent your sweat from corroding your strings between playing sessions. Some people find it beneficial to use a string cleaning product like Fast Fret.

You could wipe them down daily with GHS fast fret. It's a little expensive on Amazon so I'd recommend going to a store to pick it up. It helps clean the guitar strings and keeps them fresher longer. I've read online that the liquid in there is just wood/mineral oil so I've been reusing the applicator with that liquid and haven't noticed any difference.

u/themanifoldcuriosity · 1 pointr/Bass

You should be wiping your strings/neck down with stuff like this before and after you play.

I basically can't remember the last time I put on new strings. Though to be honest, I only ever really did that if I had a gig or was starting a big studio session.

DUDE! I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION. GHS make this product called "fast-fret". I clean my strings before I play with this and they feel really new always, if you keep it up. Sound diminishes over time; but at least I get more time to play.

This stuff is amazing and makes the fretboard feel soooo good.

I use fast fret for string cleaning and its great. i have four acoustics and sometimes won't play my 12 string for a month at a time, this stuff takes the rust right off and they'll sound bright and new again.

u/MikeOxmaul · 1 pointr/Guitar

Fast Fret works for me...
