How to re-attach MarkBass plastic logo to speaker cabinet?

When you sell the cabinet give the buyer the decal and be done with it.

 

Yes, let the buyer decide if they want it on there or not. Then they can post a thread like this one.

 

A lot of people dislike badges. I agree with the others, put it in an envelope, let the buyer decide.

To reattach it, I’d use a small amount of clear silicone adhesive. You can buy a tube at a hardware store. A less permanent solution is double sided carpet tape.

 

Double stick tape.

 

Lol. Like a badge is required to determine whether it is a MB or not.

 

I'd let the buyer decide. I know if I was going to buy a cabinet & the logo was missing, I'd prefer it stayed off. They just get in the way of the sound waves

 

I'd go with double stick tape. That way the new owner can easily remove it

 

Not to mention that it also makes the cabinet lighter!

 

Let the new buyer decide, they may not want it on there either. However it would still be nice to have included if I were buying it. I have thought at times of removing the Mesa logo plate from my cab but it's easily attached with two screws.

 

Use oatmeal to glue it back. Seriously, have you ever tried to get dried oatmeal off of a bowl?

 

Having removed MarkBass badges from cabinets, I know what work you went through to get off. The word "tenacious" doesn't begin to describe the adhesive. And I agree your effort was well worth the trouble; the badges are bone ugly. Be kind to the next purchaser by keeping them off.

 

Only every single time my kids eat it and leave the bowl on the counter all day...

 

I would advice against selling it without the label. Whereas it takes some experience (both with the product and playing) to understand why someone would chose to remove the logo, choice I absolutely respect, I feel that a removed logo may give the average buyer the idea that the item may be “more used” that it actually is. Is could feel as “modified” to normal folk shopping for an amp.

If someone searches MarkBass probably wants to buy the amp, the experience, the identification wih the brand, show he/she has one, and knowing that the previous owner was messing with it may reduce the buyers perception of value. Remember, there is an industry out there trying to sell you stuff mostly based on the way it looks.

Just a thought, making it look the same as it did new may translate in more $ for you.

I hope it helps,

 

I used silicone glue on my Aguilar's. Two years and holding!

 

Badges?, we don't need no stinking badges!
