Ricky 4000 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I don't think I've ever seen so much as one non-factory sticker on a BC member's bass! That must mean that stickers are really ghastly and down-market. I don't suppose anybody wants to show off their sticker jobs? Ā š Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have a photo somewhere of a white Stingray with the best (worst) sticker collection on it. Iāll have a proper look for it tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I had a couple of stickers on a cheapy bass when I was a young, angry teen but it's not something I'd do these days, at least not just some random sticker. Having said that, over on the Short scale appreciation thread, @Dosi Y'AnarchyĀ has put a very cool looking racing stripe on his Talman to match his Mustang. Having both a Talman and a couple of Mustangs myself I'm quite tempted to give one of them a Brazilian.Ā Edited July 4, 2020 by Osiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) My Precision, one of my Jazzes and my JCB all have Grateful Dead stealie stickers on them. The two Fenders are white and the JCB is gold, so they show up well, they don't look so good on sunburst, which most of the rest are. Just realised - you can see the stealie on the JCB in my profile pic (<ā over there) Edited July 4, 2020 by FinnDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 When my kids got some stickers they tried to stick them on my bass. They succeeded once when I wasnāt here so we negotiated and I let them stick a few on the back of the headstock.Ā Ā 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Theyāre really not my thing, but itās your bass, do what you want to your Squier. Just not on nitro where itās difficult to remove without ruining the finish.

I'll happily put stickers on any bass if I think it personalises it. Neither of those two Fenders cost under a grand new. The stickers come off without leaving a mark, I know this as I sold a bass on here a few years ago and the seller wanted the sticker removed and proof that the bass was undamaged by the experience. He was satisfied. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Jezza, I have been wondering whether to keep the Jazz or not - I have two others already, and got this one as a swap for a six string easier in the year. It's a Classic 60s Jazz, and I already have another in sunburst.Ā The only reason I didn't move it on straight away is that I made the mistake of playing it, and is does play very well. I still can't decide - but it's keeping its sticker whatever happens! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) This was on my Telecaster Bass before its refurb but was not hiding any damage once removed.

FinnDave Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Once you've bought Ā bass it is yours to do exactly what you want to it. No one can tell what you 'should' or 'shouldn't' do it. I have a lovely Sandberg bass I bought in January but hardly ever play, if I decided to give it a viking funeral floating down the Windrush as it was consumed by flames, it's my prerogative. Bit of a waste of the best part of 2 grand, but it's my money to waste if I wantĀ to Ā (Not that IĀ wouldn want to add more cr*ap to ourĀ already polluted local river, of course. Just adding that in case anyone thinks I'm looking for the petrol and matches as I type! I'd take it a mile or so downstream to where the Windrush meets the Thames and cast it adrift there šĀ ) Edited July 4, 2020 by FinnDave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
