Help! My Bass Has Body Odor!

[Smallmouth_Bass]

did you try a fungicidal?

No. Aren't those medical ointments and creams?

The good news is that I would consider the bass tolerable now. There are still areas that have a "scent" to it, but it is nowhere near as pungent as it was before. I actually played it for a while today and it plays, sounds and feels great!

glad its working for you but a fungicidal is anything that kills fungi, your best bet is a disinfecting household cleaner that has a fungicidal chemicle in it. if it kills molds you should be able to kill it. so check the label on any old disinfectant product that will clean the material, a lot of carpet cleaners have anti mold chemicles in them. ive been learning a lot on the subject in microbiology.

http://www.baneclene.com/catalog/microban.html that may finish the job on the mold in the case which im expecting is the last remaining source of the smell . as with all disinfectants you're going to want to just let it sit for a while and let it do its job. sometimes the mold comes right back if it isnt allowed time. after you use it your case will smell like whatever scent it is. just look around, you may find a lemon scented thing out there, and make sure its safe to use in a case and leave a bass in there. im sure this stuff would work though however cause its commonly used on carpets

I did use a pet deodorizer, but just sprayed it on and wiped it off. I didn't think about leaving it for any period of time. My guess is that it would be considered a fungicidal.
