Chownybass Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi Guys (The mods have kindly given me permission to ask here) Busy moving production of the CHB-1 basses from China to India (better quality by FAR) and need to choose fret marker inlays. I can have blocks or crowns? What would your pick be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark76 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 How about dots? I voted "Blocks". It's neck and neck so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Blocks for me. For some reason I associate the crowns with Gibson and no body needs to be saddled with that impression of build quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I voted crowns. Blocks are a bit too utilitarian and Fendery, and the CHB deserves something more stylish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I do tend to gravitate to block inlays but the shape of the CHB-1 really suits crown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmayhem Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Why not choose those you already got? (With the traffic bump...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Blocks, Crowns are too Gibsony. Would make me worry about the headstock falling off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I like the Spector crowns. Seriously though, the two examples shown are a bit dull IMHO. How about long ellipsoids or some other unique shape that would become associated with the brand, like, er... Spector crowns. OK, I'm going...

stingrayPete1977 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I like a plain board, not many basses out there with non like the proper 90s bass collection basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 After about 10 seconds of deliberation I've gone for crowns.. they just look a bit fancier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Crowns are much classier IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
