Is it wrong to sticker your bass?

My opinion:.
Yess, its yours, do as you like..however..most of us (correct me if in wrong) dont sticker after the age of 15 and a half. (Unless your in a punk band..)
I do recommend against ot though.
(Based on experience, so ..do as you will)
;)
Merry Christmas, and you're welcome.
 
I am curious, how much will stickers Chang the tone on a hollowbody bass? More or less treble?

Ask this guy.

It's your bass, many pros have done it. It's probably only a big deal on Talkbass. Ask yourself: Am I putting this on because I like it or because I want others to like it? Here's mine with my band nameView attachment 1009037
So true many well ya know what ill behave. Sticker the crap out of it of you want and dont listen to the snobs. Its ur bass your rules. Many many do it..as im doing one with all.cartoons from when i was a kid. And if people dont like it. Dont look lol. Its a free world enjoy your bass

I once bought a bass at a car boot sale which was covered in stickers.
It took ages to get the bloddy things off!
Unfortunately, the bass was a brand whose logo was printed on the body, so the cleaning took that off too.
I sold it to someone who then claimed it wasn't genuine; it told him it was, explained why and said he could return it for his money back if he wanted.

One thing worse than stickering guitars is stickering laptop computers; I've seen grown men getting giddy like teenagers over their stickers!

What's wrong with putting a sticker on my computer? It is mine.
