What to do about confederate flag bass?

[Feral Feline]

EVEL KNIEVEL STUNT BASS

Remember, Play SAFE(LY)! Don't forget to wear your crash helmet at all times while the strings are in motion, do not remove helmet until the tube-amp has shut down and the tubes have cooled completely. Failure to do so could result in damage to the reputation of the graphic on your bass, and cause irreversible bass-face. Contents may have settled during shipping and handling; offer void in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Maryland and Rhode Island.

What you need is an African american player to do one song with it ironically.

Put the Ghostbusters symbol over it. That, or a refinish.

I really dig the Maryland flag myself.

LOL yes

or turn it into the Union Jack

or this:

 

[Hues]

Airbrush some flames across half of it.

The finish of that flag is not a thing to have these days in the world of political correctness, but remember for many it is a part of history. Many families lost husbands, sons and brothers over what that flag meant. You can demean the flag but don't demean the loss of so many on either side of that war.

I'd love to own that bass! Not only is the Foundation one of my favorite basses, but that particular one would look great with my country band. It would also match by belt buckle.

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

I like a combination of the black panther's fist, the rainbow and maybe a star and crescent to REALLY send the rednecks over the moon!

Clearly the solution is to find a guitar player with a matching axe and form a southern rock cover band with one of the following names:

Boss Hogg

That band already exists... (can't post the sleeve of their first album though...)

 

[68Luds]

Opening song starts with..... Just the good ol boys, never meaning no harm...

Every body loves that song.

Don't they?

 

[Jeff Sarsippius]

Dukes of Hazzard Theme...my mom FORBADE me to watch that show when she saw the car: I too felt that Robert E. Lee naming was a bit much...

Yeah there isn't ANYTHING cool about that flag, what it TRULY REPRESENTS. I'd say it's more offensive than any racial slur as that and the Nazi flag EMBODY HATRED.

 

[nutdog]

That hasn't been on the GA flag for 10 years.

I'd leave it and sell it to someone that liked it that way.

oh hell no

 

[PimasterPearson]

Don't just cover part of it. That would get confusing for anyone who takes the time to look that carefully, and since audiences don't usually give the bass more than a quick glance, most of them probably wouldn't even notice a clever sticker. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of partially covering it with a black power symbol, but I think most people wouldn't get it, or might even get the wrong idea.

Refinish, resell, or cover it with so many stickers it's not even visible.

 

[Gorn]

Hello Kitty stickers.

 

[OldPlucker]

LOL yes

or turn it into the Union Jack

or this:

Now that's offensive!

 

[68Luds]

Hello Kitty stickers.

 

[68Luds]

Union flag. Road worn.

FYI, it not a Union Jack,unless it flown off of the jack mast of a British vessel

 

[Zooberwerx]

Just post a sign on your amp or mic stand which reads: "Quit yer gripin'....it came this way!"

Keep in mind that this is Virginia where we still have Confederate re-enactors participating in skirmishes throughout the state.

No more offensive than the Union Jack. Remember what that meant to many people in Ireland and other "subject" countries.

 

[Stranger Danger]

Sell it.
Folks who get their <deleted word> in a bind over a flag are <you fill it in pal>.
Get over it and research history worldwide and color(race)-wide.

How much you want?
A white Foundation is on its way here now but that one is welcome to keep it company if you're going to destroy a piece of Peavey history. PM me prior to wrecking the thing.

It's a refin. It's not a "piece of Peavey history". Refinishing it to something less loathsome is not destroying it. Although I can't imagine why the OP would trade for something like this.
