Anyone else agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I suppose you could call a faithful recreation of the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fender relics replicate that. Edited January 1, 2010 by simon1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 In fairness, that headstock is a [i]smidge[/i] pallid, thus highlighting the sticky-on nature of the decal. Lacks that David Dickinson-esque orange glow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Not sure if you were just commenting or genuinely interested in that particular bass but just in case you weren't aware I'll take the opportunity to point out that you need to factor in the various import taxes if you are thinking of buying that bass! You may already know all about it but you'd be amazed how many folks it catches out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
