Custom headstock decals? Not Fender ripoff!

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know who might make custom waterslide headstock decals?

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT looking to have an exact Fender decal made or try to re-brand another bass as a Fender!

I honestly want to customize a headstock to be Fender-LIKE but without using the specific name "Fender" or "Precision."

Rather I hope to end up with something that looks very much like a 70s-era P-bass headstock decal/logo but have a fake brand/model name along the lines of the "Feckers" and "Ferdens" and such.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

There are several folks on Ebay who can make whatever you want. Just do a search for 'waterslide decal'.

Whatever you're after, someone will do it for you. Good luck. Hopefully you are bringing something new. Useful new stuff is always good.

Sign shops can do nice work for you with vinyl...it's not waterslide, but you will be the only one that really knows anyways.

I have 2 of my gtrs with vinyl...and I was able to choose the fonts, color, size.

I need a new blade for my machine (getting next week), I can always make you one...just charge ya for the stamp....one day you'll owe me a coffee

Can you tell the difference?

and here's an example of his work on a couple of my basses:








and here's another guy that makes them:
