Decals - where to get them?

Hi all,

I have a really poor quality J bass copy that i'd like to put a Fender logo on the headstock of, it's never going to fool anyone so it's only for aesthetics - I was even contemplating doing a 'Faker Jazz' logo, but can't find anyone that sells them in the UK.

Have tried ebay and couldn't really find much, likewise a google didn't throw anything of use this side of the pond.

Thanks in advance,
James

Normally ebay has a few vendors but I tend to make my own using inkjet decal paper. its maybe £2.50 a sheet but you can do loads with that

Can you print gold?
I make my own black ones but can't do the gold infills. I have a "one off" I need done and was going to contact a guy on ebay this morning who I've used before (theclash1968) but if it can be done through Basschat.... :brow:

theclash1968 is a great guy, I've used his stuff before, really helpful guy, especially if you're rubbish at applying decals, 1st, second and third time round.... :)

[quote name='LawrenceH' post='903859' date='Jul 24 2010, 11:12 AM']Anyone else got recommendations for where to get these? I'm about to refinish a 70s Classic MIM and want to get hold of the appropriate sticker for matching headstock. Can't find any on ebay, I assume people are rather coy about advertising them.[/quote]


Just make some. Get the clear decal paper off eBay and print some off, only costs a couple of quid.
I scoured google for appropriate images and then cleaned them up, gave a few away on here as i had a load spare

I have publisher document at home with some decals on, can email it to you if you like?

The eBay seller is also very good, can do some very specific decals. I just don't like paying all that money for one when i can make 15 for half the price!

I've just had a very satisfactory quote from The Decal Shop for some replacement old-style Overwater logos.
I asked Chris May first, but unfortunately the only ones he has left are so old that they fall apart when you try to soak them.

Can you print gold metallic ink?

Either way I'd be interested in the publisher doc if you can find the time!
