I realize this is an old thread but it is the first thing I found that explains the smell to my new 62 Reissue P bass. The case smells like sweet vanilla. Every time I show my bass off I make them smell my case too. It is the best present when opening to play my bass. My memories of bass will forever be linked to this amazing smell. Fender is genius.

My new Fender SKB case smells of barely nothing. And one of my cats have permanent residence in my studio.

My 2010 Oly White Jazz has that sweet, vanilla-like smell, and so did a '96 Oly White Jazz I bought new but no longer have. I have not noticed a similar smell with other colors. Strange.

I currently own 3 of the new Fender SKB cases. Two of them have no real distinguishable smell. My 08 Candy Cola P bass on the other hand has a distinct smell of either cherry or strawberry (I haven't figured it out yet). Has anyone else owning a new Fender Precision, Jazz, Stratocaster or even Telecaster come across this pleasant oder?

It's pretty cool because while I'm playing it stays on the bass and smells really nice

its maple, like maple syrup, from the neck.

The 80's Schecter Jazz I bought from original owner was a tobacco burst and came from a smoke free home but no joke, the bass and it's case for years (until I refinished it) smelled just like a box of cigars. Kind of miss that smell now...

I bough a brand new G&L L2000 this year and the case also smells like awesome vanilla.... My band mates love it when I open it at rehearsal.....
