STICK AROUND! show your stickers!

It wouldn't be an Ozzy bass without a bully in the picture.

Cute dog - LOVE bulls!

I have pug stickers on most of my headstocks and a few old postage stamps that were music based (check the upper horn of the p/j) on a few of my instruments. you can sorta see them in this pic. I dont think I could get away w/ any more radical ones in the gigs I do ;)

I don't think it's ugly as much as gaudy. Unique, at least.

I usually like things more plain-looking, but I enjoy looking at this piece of instrument art/sculpture/whatever.

Only thing is, it looks completely unplayable. As usual, I could be wrong though!

Well your half right.
It's totally unplayable when covered in jewelry but with jewelry removed it is actually quite playable.:D

Cool! Yeah, I couldn't figure if that jewelry was removeable or, like, glued on or something. What a trashy, trampy little painted up hooker of a bass! I dig it. Not something I myself would necessarily make or own, but I swear if i saw someone pull that out or take the stage with it, I'd be thinking "Awesome!"

What make/model is that anyway? Some kind of Teisco-ish 60s pawn shop prize?
 
You decided to take the stickers off:( I read the past thread on this bass. I liked it with all the stickers on it. But it is your bass and if that is the way you like it then good for you:)

Haha yes I did. The new look (middle of page 1) is pretty slick though and it fits my personality a little better. I don't think I can bring myself to refinish it though. Refinishing takes a couple weeks and a few rattle cans, the look it has now took 28 years and a lot of exposure. I dig the rat look. :bassist:
