Best way to trim rat fur picks?

[bassplayarob]

One of my cabs is lookin pretty ugly because of the picks on the rat fur. Does anyone know the be best way to "trim" all of those little... rat...fur...balls....

maybe a lint roller?

I though someone mentioned one of those "sweater razors" to keep the fur trimmed...


I could be disremembering though...

+1 I used to use a sweater shaver on my rat fur cabs.

I have bought a few beat up looking rat fur covered cabs off of CL that I cleaned up by:

1 vacuuming off what I could
2 using inside out wads of masking tape to get off the stuff the vacuum culdn't
3 using an old pair of electric hair clippers to trim the fuzzy parts and 'pills' off

Always ended up looking MUCH better and in a few cases practically new.

Rat fur IS pretty rough on clipper blades though, so I wouldn't use any you plan to keep using to cut hair...

+2 on the fabric shaver. I use it on my Schroeder. And on my rat hair bass cab too!

SOLVED:

I found some clippers layin around my house and took them to the rat fur and the cab looks brand new!! Thanks guys!

Tip: I found that the slower I went over the cab, the better it worked/looked.
