VBB Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 There is a case on Musicians Friends Stupid deal of the day for $50. I hate to trash the original one when gigging. By the way, does anyone elses robot still have that new smell? I play mine a couple days a week minimum for over a year, and everytime I take mine out of the case, it smells like it did on day one (glue, laquer, plasticy)?

It smells like the white candy cigarettes I still eat as an adult (they have super hero ones). i know that is weird but it does LOL Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBB Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I heard it takes up to 3 years for the nitrocellulose laquer to fully cure (cures on the outside then in through the pores). Do you think that's where the smell comes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argutus Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You'll never forget that smell. Just as you'll never forget the smell of recently cut grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
