Stickers on instruments

It totally depends: when I do it, it's very cool. When others do it it's ugly and childish. I think all of Talkbass agrees with me on this.

 

My guitar is covered with stickers. It's a personal choice. Some like it, some don't.

 

It's not my thing, but sometimes it works.

 

It depends. If I had something rare or unique I'd think it un-wise. Or something particularly valuable or expected to appreciate in value.

Otherwise, whatever floats your boat.

 

It depends entirely on context and genre. Actually, they're sort of like fedoras these days: 95% of the time they're tacky, cringe-worthy, and exhibited by people unfit to display them, but the minority of people who pull them off with the whole package make them look cool.

 

Cases? Cool. Gtrs? Not so cool, but that's just me.

 

Do what you want to with your instrument, but most of all, play it.

 

Yes.

 

You will have a hundred different answers to the question and they are all correct.

Do what you like with your bass.

 

It is a good way to ensure you can never get more for it if you ever want to sell it.

But, just like cars, tats, piercings, image in general, it is your own personal expression, do what you will.

 

I've yet to see a sticker on a guitar that I felt was worthy of applying.

 

I usually think it's really juvenile and amateurish, but I really enjoy Jonny Greenwood's sticker'd out Tele Plus and Mike Watt's EB3

 

Real men brand their instruments, stickers are for sissies

 

Not for me, but it's your instrument.

 

I am waiting for the right sticker I guess,

 

I've only done it once and happy with the results. Your mileage may vary.

 

Well, if it's on the back...I guess it's okay
