I love black block inlays on maple necks and have always wondered why you never see any Stingrays with 'em.
So just for kicks I got a set of those decals and installed them on my SLO Stingray.
No idea if I'll keep 'em on there or what, but I just had to see up close and personal what my 'Ray looked like with blocks: |

I just figured for $7 and something that is completely removable it was a no-brainer experiment. I'm also going to play it for a while just to see how durable they are in use.
I think I'm digging it, but honestly I'm surprised there's not more haters! |

I ordered from creative-cuts on eBay because they had the all-black (not MOP) blocks.
I think the product is very good quality.
This set was designed for a Fender Jazz bass so I had just a couple minor issues installing on the SR. The 12th fret decal wasn't long enough to cover both dots. There was a longer decal on the set for 24th fret or something, so I used that one. You can see in the pic that the 12th fret decal is just a little longer than the others.
Also, the last decals from the last 2 frets were just a smidge narrower than the inlay dot so up close you can see a small bulge from the dot on either side of the decal. Real minor details but just thought I'd post it for anyone interested. |
