fragility Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi, I'm looking for some bright ideas from the undoubted genius of Basschat members.... I've got 2 identical cases for my fretted and fretless twin thumbs and I'm trying to think of a decent way to distinguish the cases (without stickers - sticking out like a saw thumb - pardon the pun! I want something relatively subtle as the whole point is I wanted them in matching cases) Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Well, my completely boring method was to have a keyring on the handle of one cases. That's as good as it got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Gaffer tape on one of the handle grips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I mark mine with stencils & silver paint pen. You don't have to go nuts & scrawl all over, just a fl (for fretless) on one would do it. Or mark one fretted & one fretless - etc, you get the idea! If you don't like it or sell it on, one wipe with a cloth dipped in white spirit & it's gone.

JMT3781 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 just one ring of coloured electrical tape around the handle doesn't look too bad Or you could do what i did, leave one in front of an electric fire until the burnt plastic bubbles up.. thats how i tell between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 You could stencil a large F on one case for fretted and a large F for fretless on the other one. Wait a minute...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) Simple... You dont have to do anything. Pick one up at a time. The heaviest one would be the fretted.

JimBobTTD Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If you get a pair of matching classy key rings, then the cases will still match and you would still be able to tell them apart. These totally not naff key rings should do the job: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 And no, I don't see how one goes about attaching keys to them either. But that's what they are!

So the vicar knows who's who. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 LOL! I think you find the ball ends are on a thread and unscrew so you cn get the keys on. Thats what happened at the last gay wedding i was vicar at anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
