The 'Finish' is waxed BUT, the finish is Oil and Varnish mixed, several formulas laid over coat after coat. Once you go through them to the wood, the 'finish' is gone.. You would only be waxing the raw wood IF you don't 're-finish' the bass at least in part if not the entire body so it all matches.
