Vintage masking tape

If you want tone tape for your bass, this is the stuff:

I mean, even if I was the ultimate vintage instrument cork-sniffer there's no adhesive left right?

I keep thinking thinking things can't get weirder...

 

[JRA]

no quantity discounts.

I'm hoping they also have some funky blobs of vintage pot case grounding solder.

Wait a minute...hold on...is it duck tape or duct tape? I'm so confussed.

It's Duck Tape, a leading brand of duct tape.

What's the best tape for metal?

For heavy metal, copper tape.
For regular metal, aluminum foil
Works fine.

Is it just me or does it look like it would crack in half the very moment you tried to use it?

No way I’d mod a Squier Affinity, those basses blow every pre CBS fender ever made out of the water. I have one that I compared side by side with Anthony Jackson’s personal Fodera Presentation 6, (he mows my lawn for me on Tuesdays) and the affinity was so much better that Anthony begged me to trade on the spot. I was like, “nah, dawg”... he still messages me about it. The Affinity by Squire is literally the only bass I’ve ever heard of that people who know basses prefer over those (former) holy grail Harley Bentons and MusicMan Bongos. That’s tells you something. So do not ruin it by modding it!, as the resale value on that thing will pay off your mortgage, your children's mortgages, and your children’s children’s mortgages.

Magic Tape. Very, very interesting....... I've got to do my research. Must be a way to recreate it.

Yeah man, fake vintage masking tape at $100 / whack. Now THERE’s a racket for ya!

You can do whatever you want, but you’ll wish you’d held out till you could find the bass version instead. And really, you want some from ‘63-64.

61s are where it's at. Completely different league than the lowly 63s, come on!

I have a factory second Harley Benton Jazz. 6kg of fret sprouting, pickup buzzing awesomeness that I'll put against any Affinity any day. Roger Sadowsky keeps pestering me to loan it it to him but I'm like no way Jose.

Ole’ Sad Roger, it’s a shame he’s never figured out how to do a proper build... couldn’t get a single usable tone out of the dozens of his build attempts that I’ve owned.

I just put blue masking tape on my banjo tailpiece to hold the pickup wire in place. Do you find that the color matters?

Red tape makes you play faster.

I think i saw it cracked a little when I looked at the listing.

I know. Same. I keep buying them. Disappointing.

Vintage masking tape has that analog warmth that simply cannot be reproduced with modern synthetic masking tape.
