RockCare Sadowsky Fretboard Protector – Reliable Fret and Fingerboard Protection

The RockCare Sadowsky Parts - Fretboard Protector - 5 String Bass delivers targeted protection for bassists aiming to maintain their instrument’s condition. Specifically shaped for most five-string basses, this accessory helps prevent scratches, pressure marks, and dents during transport or prolonged storage. To use, simply slide the protector between strings and frets for immediate coverage, ensuring clean, undamaged fretwork is preserved even in challenging conditions.

Purpose-Built Design for 5-String Basses

What stands out about this model is its tailored fit for 5-string necks and its use of two foam rubber pads. Rather than the one-size-fits-all approach, this design delivers a secure grip and shields both frets and the fingerboard from movement-related wear.

Functional Dimensions and Materials – Technical Benefits

Key parameters provide real-world utility. Measuring Length: 690 mm and Width: 43–69 mm, the protector covers the complete playing area while accommodating different fingerboard widths. Black plastic resists cracks and warping, with soft foam pads that prevent slipping without harming finishes.

• Fits: Most 5-string basses — coverage for both standard and wide-profile necks
• Everyday use is enhanced by lightweight, impact-resistant black plastic
• Padding: 2 foam rubber cushions — gentle but secure grip on the fingerboard
• Dimensions: 690 x 43–69 mm — spans the full fretboard of 5-string basses

Ease of Use for Maintenance and Travel

Installation is quick—slide the protector beneath the strings so it rests evenly across the frets and fingerboard. Non-slip pads guarantee the accessory remains in place whether you are traveling or storing your instrument, a valuable safeguard for gigging musicians.

• Tool-Free Installation: No tools or technical skills required
• Easy removal and repeated use during string changes or maintenance sessions

Compatibility and Real-World Application

Especially useful for musicians relying on gig bags or hard cases, this model helps prevent finish damage from bumps or pressure. Compatible with most 5-string basses—including Sadowsky and other leading brands—it’s a smart addition for busy musicians and studio technicians.
