dust bunnies inside my bass

[LeslieD]

It takes a few years, but eventually I always get these round balls of dust rolling around the inside of my bass. They're the size of golf balls and probably don't hurt anything. But...I'd like to fish them out. Anyone have experience removing them successfully w/ a special technique?

If you have a soundpost setting claw, you can try that.

Otherwise, just pick up your bass, turn it table side down and start tilting it til it falls out of the F-holes. Might be easier if you can hold it above your head or get underneath it.

I like my dust bunnes tho. They're funny to see every once in a while. I'd like to see how big they can get.

Just get some tubing and vacuum them out.

Why not a narrow stick (or coathanger) with a piece of tape on the end? (I fished my Dampit out in similar manner when it fell in...)
