Use a 22oz. framing hammer to tap on the front of your bass. This will loosen some of the dirt. You can then use a wire brush to remove what is left. A cold chisel will work for really stubborn dirt. If all else fails, use a propane torch.

or throw it in a swimming pool, take it in the shower with you, or strap it onto your roof at the car wash.
