markytbass Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Back in the 70's when I was about 5 we had a chest of drawers that had that type of floral stcky back sheet all over it (did I mean sheet or sh*t?) Quote

I was of the belief that he'd been peeling the labels off apples and oranges and slapping them on his bass... as you do like... now I have plans to get hold of loads of whisky, rye and Irish whiskey bottle labels and completely cover the body and headstock of my Squier in them... unfortunately this requires consumption of lots of whisky... and effectively working my way through the spirits section of my local Morrisons... otherwise all the labels will be the same... I'm not sure if my liver will hold out long enough... Quote

Deep Thought Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 It is just possible that there's a nice bass under all that crap. I'm not paying £900 to find out though! (Even if I had £900!) Quote

stingrayfan Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 It's like the bass equivalent of stone-cladding. Quote

BigRedX Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Still looks better than all those 70s Fenders finished in sh!t brown or "I can't be bothered to spray any more coats white"... Quote
