What is the best way to clean the frets of my Status Energy graphite and how?
The bass I've bought is never used much and that's why the frets are really corroded.

Thanks Hans

Either a very light fret file or a bit of wire wool with a touch of oil.
Too many basses is never enough basses.

Brasso metal polish wadding for brass,copper,stainless steel and chrome is ideal for the job.And wont scratch or mark the fretbored.cheers

I use a white liquid from a brand called Centralin "Metal Wizard". So far as I know available in Germany, perhaps Netherlands as well.
Needs only a few drops on a polish cloth and the result is amazing.

e.g. here:

Click on the pic to zoom in - this one is more than 20 years old and played often.
