Alternative to FastFret
Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anybody knew of cheap household alternatives to FastFret (might be called something different in the states?) As with lots of potions for specific applications, often something cheaper will work just as well. Anyone got any tips? The price of a tiny bottle of Fastfret seems kinda steep... or I'm just being tight!

Pledge. Spray on a cloth and then wipe your neck. The other alternative is to wipe your fretting hand through your hair and a bit of oil will then be on your fingers. It makes everything a lot slicker...as long as you aren't using hair products...and have hair.

Was it Freddie King who supposedly used to rub his strings (which he also supposedly never or rarely changed) with a piece of fried chicken??

Sniffy,
In another post you mention ironside pickups ?, are they any good?
Looking for some pups for my Jap strat.

Sorry for the late reply! It was Irongear pickups, from axetec, I think they're great, i gots them in me squier strat and epi LP! They're certainly good value for money anyway! Im not sure if they're nessesarily better than fender stock pups but I guess it just comes down to taste!

Actually, I think that Fast Fret is just a roll of fabric soaked with mineral oil....

And oily hair at that. Mine is dry as desert. When I let it grow some that is. But I tend to wash it ten times a week too.Pledge. Spray on a cloth and then wipe your neck.
