Show Me Your Basses With Stickers

[Steve!]

Sometimes, the best way to personalize your bass is to put stickers on it. Show me your basses with stickers.

P.S.My first bass had stickers but I don't have it anymore.

to bad i took them off.

I bought a old squier mexican p bass that had so many stickers and well a band-aid one it

This one now has a small Snow White(my fave Disney princess)on the pickguard. I put a similar Cinderella on the headstock of my Jazz 5, although she doesn't really do much for me(Cinderella that is; I love the bass).

This is pic was taken a few years ago in a studio in which one of my bands was recroding a demo.
On the right (in my left hand) is my first bass, an Ibanez Soundgear which i purchased second hand off my bass teacher in 1996.
Not loner after the acquisition i proceeded to cover it in stickers.

What stickers do you guys find give the best tone?

Here's Grimm, my 30" short scale.

The Grim Reaper sticker was put on by a previous caretaker, I think it makes the bass sound a little darker so it stays.

(plus my daughter thinks it's "cute", so there!)

On mine I found the velcroed on Star Trek promotional cereal box prize LED flashlight gives my tone an ethereal green glow and I can see the controls better on dark stages.

The tringular 10th Ave. Burrito sticker helps with the burpy/farty sound.

The Wolfman stickers put a little hair on the tone.

Johnny Cash's mugshot gives it an outlaw edge.

The tonal effects of the Fender Road Worn sticker is self explanatory.

Be that as it may, I've since eschewed stickerdom and converted that particular bass into this:

Oddly enough it sounds the same without the stickers...whoda thunk it?

Watt's bass that was stolen last year

That Soundgear looks stunning man! BIG credit.

Anybody else?

I'm gonna subscribe to this, as I'm really interested in the subject. I really wanna cover my first bass (Ibanez GSR190) in stickers, but I can't get myself to really do it, and don't really have enough stickers to fill up enough space.

Personally, I think the vintage stickers from the 70's are far superior to the newer ones. I believe the organic glue they used to use just works better than the new synthetic stuff.

Not much but nice:

 

[Steve!]

That's a nice bass

Thanks, I rework this bass when I got it. Took out the DiM pups and put in a set of Bartolini then added a Tritan. Sound awesome. Cost with bass and upgrades about $900.

I'd really quite like to get the stickers off my fretless... but they seem to be fused to the body, rather than stuck!
