glassmoon Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Good day all you bass builders. I want to get a headstock decal made, but I have no idea where to go. Any pointers, ideas, options? My thanks in advance. Julian aka Glassmoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassmoon Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 A stupid question perhaps, but short of sanding the headstock to remove the existing logo....is there a "better" way to strip off the current logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 You can buy decal paper online. I have made two-colour logos for a bass, and it is very easy. You will need to sand off the existing logo, and apply a coat of clear to seal in the new logo. It sounds daunting but it is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassmoon Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Thanks @songofthewind I'm not sure what sealant to use, but I'm sure my local B&Q person can assist. Now to peruse Amazon for the decal paper 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I got my decal paper from eBay. I only needed one sheet. I had painted the bass above using good quality auto rattle cans, and used the same brand clear coat to finish. Homebase, B&Q etc have similar products. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassmoon Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 I've found the (Sadowsky) logo on etsy and several other places. I'll see which one is best. I'm also considering asking Roger Sadowsky directly if I can get a genuine one... My wife says I should look for a stencil, transfer the letters to the wood, and not a decal. Will see about that too. I'm sure Sadowsky uses a print stamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benh Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I've used decals from www.guitardecals.co.uk on a few occasions and they have been top notch, and reasonably priced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
