    Do You Case Your Balls?

    What are your thoughts, I know some people case their balls and others don't. Which is better? What type of climate should they be cased in or not cased in?
    As of now I case mine all the time when it's not in my hands, I feel that it keeps it fresh. Any Thoughts?

    If I don't leave mine in the case or a gig bag my dog will lick them to death. Also, keeping them in their cases when I am not using them is good housekeeping (or so I have been told).
    Have you got G.A.S. for another EBMM???

    totally agree, they are safer in their cases, especially when you have pets

    I keep one guitar next to my seat in my living room. Right now, it's my Sublhouette. I have another guitar out because I'm going to do a repair (non-EBMM) and my son has his acoustic out. The rest are in cases.

    No pets, but I do have a 6 year old and a 7 year old. They're good kids and won't touch my guitars, but I can't say the same about their friends. Always back to the cases when I'm done with them.

    If they are in rotation they stay out, otherwise they are cased in the closet of my man cave, sometimes two are in rotation sometimes one, if I am gone on vacation etc. all are cased and locked away

    So the logical conclusion here would be: If you want your balls safe, keep em' in their case.

    Ahh..almost forgot. I put mine back in their case and tucked away as well if I'm not home for any length of time. Having only 2 (soon to be 3) Balls it's just easier to have them out and off the floor because I play them so much...I need them to be within reach at all times without constantly going back and forth to the case.

    Yes, after what happened to Koogie's Radiance Red JP6, I'm not taking any chances!

    My EBMMs are always in their stands. The case is just for transport

    I’m a tad OCD so I keep mine in the case to prevent dust build up.
