So I came across this today. The video seemed pretty straight forward until I saw the second half. I don't know if I want one, but I was definitely impressed

When I saw what they were doing to that P-Bass, it made me really sad. D:

I like the idea, but I have to wonder if it would affect the tone. Other than that, seems like a very sensible product.

They should put something like this on the bases for sale in music stores.

I like how they avoided the dents at the bottom of the body where the protector missed. And I'm pretty sure the neck plate got all sorts of messed up. Also standing on that while yanking on the neck wasn't the best idea

Well, it's not like you actually are going to do that, so there's really no point in showing those parts. What matters is that the parts where the protector was placed was pristine.

I hope he bought that bass they did ignore the scrapes on the body where it wasnt covered, but still impressive. great idea for installing these on guitars at guitar center.

I really like the idea! I wonder if they make one that would fit my G&L L2000 Tribute?

I guess it works the same way as an iPhone screen protector. And those work great

I doubt that a sticker on the back of the guitar would affect the tone...

well, the product seemingly works really well. it's not something i'd ever use for my own basses/guitars but i can see the potential appeal.

and i am especially glad that the guy took so much time/effort to tell us to place the thing on it correctly
that shopkeep played a pretty good sport for the camera, though...

I really think this is a little over the top... that's why I don't buy $2000 + basses anymore... If you're constantly working... your gear is going to see some action... don't get me wrong... I'm happy to spend cash on hardcases/roadcases etc... but come on... If I owned a MINT '64 P... I'd never play it... I'd much rather it be 'beat up'...

Anyway... there's my rant... maybe I'm wrong... It might be a great idea...
