Is there any problem with wiping off dog piss from my speaker cone with maybe a damnp towel? I brought it over to my friends house and I guess his dog just doesn't like bassists.
Thanks.

Dog piss on speaker cone.

yup. topped off my realizing I suck at bass. He said I was playing really awesome but I don't know while he was belting out these songs, I didn't really know what to play except when I asked him, and that is probably the worst, having a guitarist tell you how to play bass.

Got most of the side of it and some of it went into the grill onto the cone, friend sprayed it down with lysol, but now I've got to unscrew the grill and I'm not sure what will get it clean but not screw it up.
I would pat it dry with a towel and then put the blow dryer to it. Just make sure its dry before you play it again.
...it's a done deal, leave it alone & let it dry, then "play the piss" out of it...

I used to have a couple 112 monitor wedges that had more crummy beer spilled in them is imaginable. They got pretty soaked a few times. Once I wiped them off and allowed them to dry they functioned just fine. While that isn't dog piss, Oklahoma beer is pretty durned close to it. We only get a max of 3.2% by volume here before it gets slapped with wacky restrictions. 
I get amused watching out of state'ers get that "bitter beer face" the first time they taste the swill they serve around here.

I just wiped them off with a damp paper towel.... piss stain still there but whatever. Just have to keep the grill on.

Maybe go to Petsmart or Petco and buy some Natures Miracle. It is made to naturally clean out those stains from carpet, furniture, etc. It is natural and breaks it down with enzymes, not bleach, detergents, etc. It works great.
DISCLAIMER: I don't know if the above could be bad, good, or make no difference on a speaker. Just a thought on my part. I'm worried that just water would not clean it out. You may want to shoot an email to a speaker manufacturer for their advice.

Dear Ashdown,
My friend's (a guitarist and loyal Marshall Speaker customer) dog pissed on my Ashdown MAG 210T. I don't like the fact there is a piss stain on my beautiful cone, could you send me a new one? Or give me a suggestion to clean it out? Thanks. I'm pretty pissed off.

Just adds to the funk. I bet Jamerson would have left it like it is.
Seriously, leave it alone. If you mess with it too much, you will more than likely just do more damage. Just let it dry.

Great title, got my attention. Really, I'd scrub the outside to get rid of the smell but it might be best to let the cone dry, I've never had problems with the damp cloth thing, just don't soak it. Does anyone know the acidity/ph of dog piss, could this affect cone material or dustcap/surround adhesive? I know beer doesn't seem to bother it much.
