cleaning dry rosin off bass

[flint]

I've done the requisite search, but just want to check that the consensus is to use "orange oil" to clean the dried specs of rosin off the front of the bass.

How about the Upton's or Kolsteins polishes? Would they work? (the bass could really use a polish anyway)

BTW the bass has an oil varnish.

thanks

Petz Rosin Remover (Lemur has it). So how did you get Rosin on your bass? I can't seem to get it to stick to mine. Seriously there is none anywhere and I bow the heck out of it almost every day. It's a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. I usually use Gibson guitar polish on it. But there have just never been any rosin specs or globs on it. It's not like I'm particularly skimpy when it comes to rosin. I've really slathered the Pops on there in the past. I use Oak now. I got the Petz rosin remover to get something awfully hard sticky stuff off of my old plywood bass that was used. It worked but I couldn't help wondering how someone got that stuff all over the bass.
