| | | | Stickers/Transfers on your bass...
Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody there ever had any success in making stickers on their bass look remotely good? I've bought some good quality transfers for my bass but I'm worried it'll look crap: is it possible for stickers too look good if applied correctly? |

It's all about content and location and it can look mighty fine.

I think when a bass is "covered" (or basically) it can look good, but I always thought 1 sticker slapped onto the bass looked weird and out of place. |

Wait for them to not look at you, hard if you have long hair, and pop one on there, then run out after examining it to see if it is to your liking. Or instead of running yell out to one of the guys "Hey, someone put sticers all over this bass!"

| | | My fretless has a Jar Jar Binks sticker on the headstock.
That bass came in kit form, and came with a blank, logo-and-brand-name-less headstock... hey... it needed SOMETHING there...  |
