I had them on my first bass back in my rock years back in 2007 when i was a teen.now i like my basses generic and bare.But It was cool back in the day I suppose.I did it cause all my friends did it to there guitars so i joined the bandwagon.
First time voting but I play 4 string fretted:1 Jazz 1 P-Bass,Epiphone Jack Casady Bass and a Hofner Violin Bass and a Kala Uke Bass if we are counting that.
