just in case

[roballanson]

Where can I get my hands on one of the Ernie Ball tolex style cases

 

[Moondog]

I've been looking for another one of those too

 

[roballanson]

another??

another??? I would settle for just the one.....

 

[Moondog]

yeah, the tolex case for my '92 smells like
an ash tray (from previous owner). I can't
get rid of the stink and will not put the bass
back in there again b/c I put a lot of effort
in removing the stink from the SR4

If I can find a newer, stink-free, MM tolex -
you can HAVE the stinker . . . if your a smoker
that is

Try spraying the inside of the case with Febreeze. Coat it pretty heavily and leave it open until it dries then repeat the process if necessary.

Are the tolex cases the ones that ship with the bass? If they are, then they're available from Musicians Friend: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=bass/s=accessories/search/detail/base_pid/545702/

Okay then, I hope you find a newer non-stinky case, because I will certainly take you up on the offer and I am the first so there!

I do smoke, but not in the house and my cases are all in a closet, and in any case I know how to use Febreeze!

 

[Moondog]

No. Unfortunately, those are not Tolex.

 

[element]

Ah, so what is tolex then?

[Moondog]

Trust me guys, I've tried many air fresheners,
coffee beans, & even a few colonges. It's just
masks the gross stink. If you are a smoker,
you may think that febreeze works, but it
really doesn't, it only covers up the stink
for a short while. My 2nd hand car, purchased
from a smoker 4 years ago, also stinks . . still.

cool

Cool man. I dont mind a bit of smokey case business.....would be prepared to go halvers if you wanted

 

[AnthonyD]

Try closing it up with as much crumpled newspaper as you can squeeze in there (B&W, not color).

Something to do with the carbon used in the ink - it absorbs the smell.

All my cases smell ok; it’s my bass playing that stinks…

I felt that way once.

Larry,
How did you get over the feeling?

Larry,

I started listening to the other guys in my band. Decided I wasn't so bad after that.
