Neck plate engravement

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys
I'm looking to buy a custom neck plate with some image that I want, the neck plate is for a Jazz Bass 2006 (Standard 4 hole)
I want it to be on a chrome plate

The only problem is that I live in Israel, so I need a cheap plate but with good quality and not expensive shipping and safe.

Thank you in advance
Danny

He's not shipping internationally I've seen some on Google when I typed neck engravement but they seem a bit expensive and that they won't fit a jazz bass

Try "metal engraving" and "metal photo engraving" searches.

There's a disconnect here: A vanity project, that you don't want to pay for.

I didn't get the above post but anyway, I'm not looking for a deep engravment but something more like this:

That looks more like a "laser etch". Fair warning, that will not be cheap.

If you already own a plain plate, perhaps there's a local trophy shop of laser engraving business that can do the work for you.

In my earlier post, I tried to say that you're using the wrong term. The common term is not engravement, it's engraving.

Do Google searches using the term engraving with modifiers such as "photo engraving" and you're much more likely to find the service you want. Then pay what it costs.
