I just bought a 65 P.
The fret board is rosewood.
The back of the neck has very little (none in some spots) finish left.
There is some grime on both.
Anyone have some advise on cleaning and maintenance?

I clean the rosewood fingerboard on my basses with 0000 steel wool. I would then treat the finger board with a lemon oil product or Lemon oil and carnuba wax.

To clean the back of the neck I woulkd take a paper towel and spray some Windex on it and rub the grimy areas with that without getting the wood overly wet. The key is just to dry it off after cleaning.

Those two steps should make a big difference in your bass.

Welcome to the Forum.

For the Fretboard use some 0000 Steel wool to get rid of grime, then treat it with some "Gerlitz Guitar Honey"

For the back of the neck and the body I recommend some "Lizard Spit" Guitar cleaner and polish.
