New Jazz Scratchplate

[arabassist]

My friend painted my squier jazz scratch plate as a little present, i was drunk when i recieved it and loved it, although i've had numerous remarks from others that it looks 'gay'

i just think it looks vibrant and funky, tho i wish she didn't leave rings around the screwholes

opinions? does anyone here let their friends/amateurs customise the looks of their bass?

Back to art school for her, I'm afraid. Nice idea though.

Maybe you should start saying it then

Seriously have you seen Bubinga's basses?

[Crikey!]

i like that a lot.

even if it does look gay, or amateurish or messy (which i dont think it does)

It doesnt matter because yours is the only one.

And thats the wonderful thing about Tiggers, right?

Everybody's jealous of the gays anyway, they've always got all the fanciest gadgets.

Sorry - it could be just the pic, but to me it looks like your friend was sick on it

I have no idea what a gay scratchplate looks like though as I didn't realise that scratchplates had a preference.

they go farther down on the lower horn


I really like it but I would take it back to her and ask if she can go over the rings around the screw holes.

EDIT: Then ask if you can go around the rings of her screw holes.
