I'm ordering a water slide decal for my Pbass project from sentinelcustomgraphics.com. It's the large early 70s tv logo, not the smaller late 70s one. Wondering what dimensions you used, or if anyone knows the actual dimensions of the decal? I want the decal to look dead on. Thanks. |

Your attitude stinks man, get out of here with that junk. |

Are you trying to convince yourself that it's a real Fender?
How does that work?

So, you can jump on me for my attitude, too, if you want. I don't care. I'm just expressing my opinion. Free country, ya know.

How does that work? | It's not yours, is it? Why's it matter so much?
Anyone else that isn't a prick care to offer any help, regardless of how uncool I am for buying a replacement decal? |

If it's a project bass then why not come up with something original? Even Fender Frankenbass works for me. While the Fender logo is wrong, there never was a Frankenbass model so it's obviously not a real Fender. |

If you did all the work on it why not take the credit for it?
thedudebrah bass would look cool with the right script.

thedudebrah bass would look cool with the right script. | I'm a fan of vintage Fenders, but I can rarely afford the real thing. Over the past few years, I've been building basses from parts to my liking aiming for a specific year range and using a custom color. A naked headstock never looked right to me. I haven't sold any of the basses I've built, let alone try to pass them off as real Fenders when asked. The crowds I've played for probably wouldn't know the difference anyway, it's purely so I can look at what I've built and see it as complete. I didn't think an explanation like this would be necessary and I didn't intend to start a back and forth about wether or not replacing a headstock decal was lame or not.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
