blunderthumbs Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Have just purchased a Status energy graphite necked headed bass. The problem I have is I want the Status logo on the headstock and emailed Rob Green at Status to ask him if I could purchase a transfer or sticker that I could apply to my bass. I even sent him a photo of the instrument just to show I wasn't trying to pass a cheap bass off as one of his. He sent me a reply saying they don't send them out but if I wanted to dispatch the bass to him he would put one on and laquer the headstock. This costs £60 plus about £20 each way to courier it to his workshop. I can't afford £100 just to have the Status logo on my bass, which should have had one on it in the first place. (The maple necked version has one on) My question is, how easy is it to scan and copy the status logo off a brochure and onto some transparent sticker paper which i can then put on my bass.

Chris2112 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just leave it off, it would look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm not entirely sure it 'should' have had a logo in the first place. My Matrix doesn't have a logo either. You can buy waterslide paper though, and make your own logo with that. I know Jon (Bassassin) has had some trouble with printing out decals without melting the paper, but I'm sure others here could recommend a suitable vendor.

LukeFRC Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 it has a graphite neck with that certain weave in the neck - anyone who cares won't need to see a logo to know exactly what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 My S2 didn't have a logo on the headstock either. Awesome bass regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Rich Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1317761624' post='1394381'] it has a graphite neck with that certain weave in the neck - anyone who cares won't need to see a logo to know exactly what it is [/quote] That pretty much sums it up! My Series 1s have no logos on the headstocks or on the pickups as they were prototypes, that's the way they were built and that's the way they'll stay.

JimH Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Availability of headstock logo seems to depend on age/finish/original order preference/stock of logos/Rob's mood at the time or any or all of the above.... Having said that, I had one put on an old(er!) headed S2 when it went back for some other work and a fine job Rob made of it - it looked as though it had been on there from new when it came back... You pays yer money........ Edited October 5, 2011 by JimH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
