How do I get my bass to smell like an Ernie Ball?

Just opened up my Ibanez case and took a big whiff...nothing. Gonna sell it and buy a Stingray, I have to experience this magic.

And does anyone know how I get my bass to taste like a Fender Jazz? I'm asking for a friend.

 

See? I told ya!

 

My 2002 Schecter Model T DeLeo has always had a distinct soap-like aroma. I bought a Schecter case with it and most always store the bass in it so I don't really know for sure whether it's the bass or the case. It's a nice smell!

My 1970s SD Curlee Intl has always smelled like it lived in a remote log cabin that had a fire going constantly in the fireplace. Nice woody, smoky smell.

None of the other 4 basses have any remarkable odors emanating from them.

Weird....

 

When it comes to Ernie balls I hope it's not a scratch and sniff.

 

Teen Spirit

 

apparently

 

Sterling Ball will personally come to your home and spritz your bass with a concoction made up of banned Ernie Ball forum members souls. He can also toast your neck with a custom neck toasting oven he keeps in his car.

 

Here's a start on the bass builder databass website: TBr GirlonBass (Terri) put together a searchable site http://www.bass-aholic.com/alpha.php that now has over 900 builders.

Here's the original TB thread that started her journey: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/150-bass-brands-698270/

 

It is the treatment they put on the necks. I'm sure of it.

Even the basses smell a little like it when they are out of the case.

I agree, it's quite nice!

 

lmao...You'll know that for sure when we reach page 600 of the thread!

 

Agreed. It's most likely the Birchwood Casey brand Gunstock Wax and Tru-Oil they use on the neck.

 

what....?

 

I wouldn't want my bass to smell like anyone's ball much less a guy named Ernie...:sly:

 

The best scent for bass?
Why, Ernie Ball of course!

Bert knows that smell.....not that there's anything wrong with it.


In all honesty I've had 2 and they retained that smell for years and years. I actually liked it and would probably recognize it.

 

Now I understand why it's called G.A.S. -

it's actually inhaled

 

Bert saliva!
