Bass_Guardian Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Basically i have this Badtz Maru Bronco bass and i hate it. A bit childish. I would like to change its whole appearance as to not look like pingu. Here is a picture of the front and back of the bass( not my bass but exactly the same practically) [url="http://sweelee.com.sg/catalog/images/F03-033-5106-506.jpg"]http://sweelee.com.sg/catalog/images/F03-033-5106-506.jpg[/url] The layout of screwholes for pickguard is unique which doesnt help. The words badtz maru on the back doesnt rub off Help please Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry norton Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) I'd get a bit of tortoiseshell or black/white laminate scratch plate material and design my own to cover the holes in a more tasteful, less cartoony fashion. Otherwise it's a pretty cool looking bass. If you're really scared about devaluing it by drilling new plate holes you can always double side a new plate on Edited October 19, 2010 by henry norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I quite like it...... I've got a friend who does most of his wedding gigs on a Squier Hello Kitty guitar (modded with EMG's),so I've never seen them as childish. If you hate it that much,maybe it's time to get rid and get something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex[/quote] It wouldn't bother me and if I wasn't already out the door with basses and knowing how good Broncos can be I'd give it a home. It is what it is and has some unique appeal... not necessarily childish... just individual. Then again I don't know what a Badtz Maru is.

I suggested you fit your super duper new custom designed scratchplate with double sided tape so you can always take it off and put the weird bird/head/face thing back on if you ever wanted to sell it.
