Headstock decal.

[angst178]

So I recently got a new Squier Affinity Jazz. I was thinking about replacing the logo on the headstock. For no reason other than I have never done it before. But I don't want it to be a fake Fender. Too easy and honestly kind of dumb. The question I have for the TB community is easy...

I want ideas for the name/logo. I was thinking maybe a company that went out of business long ago that may have built Fender copies right down to the headstock. I would use my last name, but the Johnson brand still exists.

Don't be critical of me either. It's a nicely built cheap as hell bass. Sounds and plays well. So come on with the ideas.

What's your first name? You could do something like "DanCraft" or "MarkMan" or "BenBass." Honestly, with the right front you can make anything look cool.

A fellow board member makes these himself for just such a situation.

My first name is Nicholas. I go by Nick, but never thought about using that in the design. Maybe a defunct brand Nick Johnson signature series. The few brands that I can think of have been revived though.

"Nickenbacker". Lol!

I got one from Rothko and Frost for my baby blue rattle can Epi goth Tbird project - "Bluebird Of Crappyness", and a nice bluebird sticker from Cafepress.

"Bass Guitar"

By the way I love the idea of custom decals on low end basses.

Another one of my no-name generic parts projects is going to be a "Flenser Incision Bass".

Give me an hour, I'll come up with something for you. Can you post a pic of your bass?

 

[gjbassist]

"Nickenbacker". Lol!

No! Too close to "Nickelbacker"! You wouldn't want that now would you?

I am a fan of subtlety.

How about "Squire"?

Use your name but be creative and add a little something to it to make it unique.
Mine are pretty straightforward.
