Inlay Stickers

Sign in to disble this ad
I found some really old threads on this topic so I'd thought I'd bring it up again. Has anyone bought those inlay stickers? I found some really cool ones and was thinking of getting some.

I have a set of these on the way (Black Pearl Jazz bass markers) as soon as I get them and try them out, I'll let you know how they are.

Interested- wondering if this might not get better attention in setup/repair.

They have ones specifically for bass, but the slection kinda... we... sucks. The tree of life decals look cool, but that's about it.

I would try to move it to setup and repair or basses. This thread is getting a little neglected in this forum.

I put the fleur-de-lis fretboard markers on two of my basses last year and they've held up well so far. No signs of wear nor can I feel them. I ordered mine from that very same company.

I would think it would depend on the particular style. Like for Example, ones that are meant to cover the whole space between frets, like the "tree of life" one for guitar would probably not fit on a bass, there would be gaps. Others, like ones that were basically fancy dots, might work. Probably best just to get ones made specifically for the type of instrument you'll use them on.

I don't think this would be appropriate for setup and repair. It may not get as much attention, but Miscellaneous seems to be the right forum to me.

Put a set of this company's on about 6 months ago.
They've worn like iron, but come up without residue with not much effort.
They have a lot of options.

Not bad. Even up close it's hard to tell they're not real.
Had they had the Abalone ones available when I got these I probably would have got them instead though.

Well, the ones I am getting are from Jockomo, not the ones you provided a link for (I don't think, Jockomo's are only $7), I'm getting the black pearl Jazz markers, and I'm hoping the pearl effect isn't cheesy looking.

Good Luck. Often you get what you pay for.
These were actually only $13 shipped. It's some of the newer, nicer looking ones (like the abalone) that have gone up to $20.
6 Months and they're still like new. Plus no residue if removed.
Hope the cheaper ones perform as well. Let us know.

Well, plus shipping (from Japan), it totalled $12, the copy on his website says pretty much the same, they are ultra thin, last long, won't get caught by your fingers, are easily removed and leave no residue. As you say, you get what you pay for, we'll see if his claims are true. Conversely, it's possible you overpaid for yours.

I have to agree, the selection for bass does kind of suck. Kinda like the playing cards though.

$13. Had them in 3 days.
Let's see how fast Japan is.
