Cleaning funny rubbers

Equipment

I'm thinking of experimenting with short pimple rubber soon, how do you clean short pimple rubber? It's quite pointy so I'm not sure. And is cleaning short pimple rubber the same for the other pimple rubbers?

Hi Jasper,

There isn't a lot of need to clean short pimple rubbers.  You can just wipe them down similar to how you wipe an inverted rubber.

Even less need to clean for long pimple rubber.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Why not?

You aren't relying on the friction from the rubber for the performance of the rubber.

And how often do you need to clean it?

Once each time you play.
