That's cool! Just be sure not to turn off the flashlight....

Not the kind of thing that fits my style, but I still think it's pretty cool. And nicely done, too.

Wow!!!!!
Mind blown!
It some how never occurred to me that you could wrap a bass!
The possibilities are endless!
What did it cost? If I might be so nosy.........

 

[Silky999]

It was £100 fitted so about $128 in your colonial monies lol

I've done a few with the help of Skin Your Skunk.
Guitar Skins, Decals, Stickers & Wraps for Any Guitar!

What material was used? Who did the work? What was the procedure?
(I tried reading through the thread for those answers and didn't see them.)

Excuse the wallpaper but we rent and the landlord likes it........very 80's and don't tell him that I've drilled holes in the wall for guitar mounts.

When you move, it should be an easy manner to get some spackle and dab it with watered down paint and hide the holes. Oh - yeah - the bass. Rock on!

It’s a vinyl wrap like those used on cars etc. The company is based in the UK. I supplied the image via email(found decent resolution one on internet), stripped the bass, dropped it off to them and collected it all wrapped. It was about $128 based on sterling exchange rate. I’m sure there are similar companies in the US.

If you are handy, you can fit the wrap yourself and it would be much cheaper. There are various companies that do off the shelf guitar skins or find a graphics company that print adhesive vinyl if you want something more bespoke.

Wrapping seems to be the new thing. The company I used do fridges, laptops, cars etc.

I'm may have to do this in the future.

I like it. Been thinking about doing a couple of my own basses. You may have inspired me to get er done.

 

[Silky999]

Hadn’t even thought about doing an album cover!

 

[rickster4003]

Nice! I previously have also posted my wrapped bass, except I did a clear wrap like a clear finish on an oiled bass.

Wrapping the bass

That’s a great idea. I kinda like the OPs graphic even though I’m not into Batman or comics in general. The reversible nature of wraps is a big bonus.

I take perverse pleasure in the thought of doing blues gigs on a bass with artwork from a pretty "out there" prog record.
