Little Personal Touch

Warning: Potential Trigger for Bass Disfigurement

I wanted to add something to my bass to make it my own, have my own personal touch. But, I’m not particularly artsy and decided to take the lazy way out with ordering a decal to place on the body.

The first horror movie I ever saw was Alien, I was about 7 or 8 and I snuck out of my room to watch it with my older brother. Traumatized me greatly, and to this day I think it is still my favorite movie of all time. So it seemed fitting to do this…


Realizing I have finished the job i started of completely devaluing this bass, overall I like it. Has a bit of my personality front and center. Only irritations is when I bought the decal it appeared to have transparent backing, not solid white. I’ve decided it kees in line with my low budget mentality, so I am going to say it works.

What little personal touches have you all added to you bass? Or if you want to shout me out for adding cheap decals toa bass, thats cool too :upside_down_face:

Not into stickers myself, but I did customise this bass with the first deep field image from the James Webb Space Telescope…

This is my #1 guitar. I made the Invaders sticker by cutting vinyl sheet. At the time I really wanted something that overlaps the neck pickup.

Hal9000 always makes me think of the “better” AI (at least the one I can identify with) : Bomb #20 from the movie Dark Star!

Doolittle: Wait! Wait! Now, bomb, consider this next question very carefully. What is your one purpose in life?|
Bomb #20:To explode, of course.

The whole dialog between bomb #20 and Doolittle is among the best in film history.
Dark Star is a must watch!

Dark Star is great. Wonder if I have room for a Bomb 20 Sticker…

Maybe just use a large “20” sticker - your bass will be da booomb!

I really want to do that now. Don’t think it’d look right on the white though. Maybe I know what color next bass will be now.

I actually was no fan of silver until 5 minutes ago. When I put the 20 on that silver bass, (just the picture, not the real thing ^^), I had to look up the model as I totally like the design with the 20 on it!

It’s a f#cking 2000€ bass: Fender AM Pro II P Bass.

I met a nice artist at a comic convention and paid them to decorate my bass.

Nice things with stickers is when you get tired of it just peel it off and get something else. Constant personalization!
