Personalized Maple
Ideas to improve the appearance of a bass?
I have a red metal in SR 300DX Ibanez Soundgear with chrome hardware, rosewood fingerboard, and a maple neck with pearl inlays. I love the thing to death in every way. I wondered what I could do to modify / customize, or if only is anything other than make it stand out visually. I have a thick, black belt, before it. The strap used with a cover of wool belt slipped false about him that used to be my brand, but I can not fit on the new belt. However, I am not willing to slather random stickers everywhere. I have not put any stickers everyone. I look forward to a clean, sophisticated look, and although the guitar as my band mate has a fresh look with stickers, not just for me.
Having regard to the low .. and .. like its a great looking bass. I prefer black hardware on mine too, and all my basses they have. (Yamaha RBX 374 Peavey Cirrus 5-string Peavey Cirrus 6 string) My most recent purchase was a Fender Jazz fretless (black) and immediately went to Black Gotah tuners, (its better than tuners Fender stock it gets), and swap out the stock bridge with a Leo Quan Badass II in black. In addition, volume and tone knobs black, and black straplocks. Never blame for not wanting to slather stickers everywhere. Best way I feel to customize and personalize a low … let your game and kind attitude that only allows low and the same stand, and after all .. its the drums and bass that is the meat and potatoes of the band!
