How do I get rid of the musty smell in an old guitar that's spent a lot of time in a damp basement? (It's a pre-Beatle Hofner bass with f-holes.)
With a quality vintage instrument like that you would probably want to take it to a luthier or good repair person near you and have them take a look at it. Wood is organic, and if the basement was damp there might be rot or mildew in the wood itself. There are lots of repair solutions if that is the case.

Start smoking cigars. It helped my basement stop smelling like cat pee.
