Silly bass personalization

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey TBers -

I know I am officially an older dude when I let my 19 month old daughter slap my prized basses. It's awesome. But, what has happened is I have taken it a step further and taken some Muppet cling static stickers of various noses, eyes and hair and created unique characters on my basses after she put some on my Jazz bass. I thought that might be pretty unique if not completely weird. Wasn't sure if it was too weird and then some young ladies at our last bar gig said "that's cool" when they noticed the Muppification of my P-bass.

Here they are. Now Im thinking of naming them ... That may be too far.

I was careful to use only the static stickers ... no interest in marring my guitars!

Not tacky at all and looks great with your black & white themes. Maybe your daughter will point at the sticker and smile when you play your bass! I smell future female bass player.....
