The smell of gear

[orange]

.....I just love the smell of my old mk1 fender rhodes, it's been sitting in my living room for a few weeks and you can smell it when you walk in !!! like an old smokey, woody smell.

plus I've got a newish fender bassman ltd reissue and it smells great.....wood, varnish, glue or something........

is it just fender equipment that smells good ?

is it just analog gear that smells good ?

could sniffing equipment become habit forming ?

do I need professional help ?

do i need help aswell?

My Fender Bassman cabinet smells like old beer, sweat and mud. Does that count as well?

LOL! Yeah, Fender gear does seem to have it's own scent. Maybe they'll make a line of candles to go along with their amps
I always sniff rubber coated cables included with new gear. Some of those cables have a "fresh cable" scent that reminds me of a toy I had when I was a kid.
