Should you put stickers on a bass.

[Oddly]

I'll join the solid "it depends" side.

Great looking bass...and that strap is awesome. Where'd you get it?

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Depends on the bass for me, pure and simple as that

You forgot one...

9. Someone is compelled to write a missive on why this thread was ill-conceived, redundant and predictable.

I thought that one was obvious!

Should *I* put them on *my* bass? Oh, hell no. I'd never even consider it.

Should *you* put them on *your* bass? It's your bass, do what you want.

 

[Vic Winters]

I typically only put stickers on plastic bits like pickguards and battery doors.

 

[bholder]

You should. However, I should not.

Thanks! I pieced the bass together from parts: a poplar body (not bad at all!), a Mighty-Mite neck, and Kent Armstrong pups. The pickguard is from a Squier Affinity P that I hot-rodded. And other random bits that sort of match. The tuners and string tree are black-plated, not chrome.

The strap is from guitarfetish.com Earl Slick apparently has an ongoing thing with them and sells "Slick" branded stuff. There are a couple dozen or so options for straps. I have two, and I'm pretty pleased.

I'm sure it will sprout more stickers as I acquire them.

Well well well. What have we here! Tastefully done!

Only if you're four years old.

I do not like them on my bass. I put them on my bass cases.

 

[HolmeBass]

I don't put them on my basses. I did put a bunch on the Fender's hard shell case though.

 

[Rip Van Dan]

Nope. I'd love to see the ones you have on your bass but don't even think about coming close to my bass with one.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

In general, I'm not a sticker guy. However, I do own a StingRay that I will likely never sell due to a huge crack it has in its finish. I'm thinking of punking out that bass because why not

You should do whatever makes you happy.

 

[Doctor J]

Unless genocide makes you happy. Then don't do whatever makes you happy.

 

[Hoyt]

Your bass = yes.
My bass = no.

I think someone needs to make a ven diagram for this.

Thank you sir!

"Should" or "should not".

Have you read the manual?
