double neck

Thought you all might find this interesting. Our bass player bought a
Tennessee brand guitar with a bass neck and a six string electric neck.
It is a relatively inexpensive instrument but pretty sharp. The bass
pickups sounded surprisingly good. Not quite the tone of his Fender but
pretty close. The electric seemed a little tinny - which was probably
due as much to him using my processor patches set up for the Parker as
it was his pickups. Can't say for sure until he gets an A/B switch to
use with his processor. Otherwise it seemed pretty solid.

The big down side was that Scott commented the strings were no good on
the electric and were turning his fingers black. I have a Washburn that
does the same thing and it ain't the strings fault. The problem seems to
be with the cheap quality of the rosewood fretboard. He commented the
same thing I noticed on the Washburn, that he could feel his fingers
dragging across the grain. Until I put Elixirs on I couldn't get a week
out of a set of strings. I suspect he will have the same problem.
Is there a way to seal the grain so it doesn't come off on your fingers?
Peace
