View Poll Results: Paint and redecal the headstock matching Fiesta Red? | |
Yeah!!! It would look like that killer 63 Jazz in the YouTube link! (see 4th post)
|    | 34 | 54.84% | |
No way! It's sacrilige any time a Fender decal is removed or reapplied
|    | 28 | 45.16% |

I tried TI flats on it at first which were cool but I wanted to try Rotos to take advantage of the fretboard coating. The bass truly came alive and the Rotos are there to stay!!  |

Thinking about having the headstock painted to match the body, in fact I think I'll add a poll to gather some opinions... |

I figure the approximate $150 expense (including shipping) would not be worthwhile. As you say it's "just a parts bass" so throwing more money in just doesn't make sense |
