The Sakura inlays are so pretty but I'm just about to start epoxying my fretless and delivery would take weeks to Ireland :(
Off-topic but consider the super-glue "saturation" method over the epoxy. It works great, leaves the wood feeling more like wood and wears like iron. I've done both - epoxy isn't bad but more work to get level. Stew-Mac would probably get them to you in 2 weeks. I ship to Ireland all the time: 10-14 days.
 
I'm going to order some blocks for my new Ibby ATK805E. The tiny dots they come with are neither useful or pretty. Since they remove easily I figure it's a safer bet than a lottery ticket.
 
I think it's awesome! Gives your bass a special touch.

Saw some nice sticker inlays, like those big block inlays, but also tree of life inlay, birds and more. Each bass with those stickers will become even more awesome.
 
I didn't do a perfect job, but no one would be able to tell they're decals unless they were already looking for them.

I've got them on my Gibson SG and my Squier Katana (which is getting sold soon), and they're probably still on my MIM P that I traded to guitar center.

I think they look good on some basses/guitars, and it's a nice way to make a cheap instruments look a bit less cheap.
 
I buy mine from Jockomo in Japan, he gives great service.
I do a lot of pit work and its dark, these really help.
I've put the inlay blocks on 3 of my basses and I bought his stencils to label my gear.
I ordered two sets from Jockomo six weeks ago, got an email conformation and statement that they were shipped a few days later, but haven't gotten them yet. How long does it usually take?

It took about a week when I ordered from him, and that was right around the holidays. Whatever is going on with shipping likely isn't his fault, but maybe he can help you figure something out.
