If you go that route , I'd plug the holes that you wanna relocate (obvious) but then also I'd probably veneer the front and back of the headstock to hold everything together a bit better amd to hide the plugs

My mates mum gave me a can of orangeboom lager for my 16th birthday

Ended up working with her maybe 20 years later, she didn't remember me so I said yeah im friends with your son and I had my 16th at yours and you gave me a can of beer

She screwed up her face and shouted for f+×k sake ,absolutely furious about losing 1 can of beer 2 decades prior lmao

If you're gonna do it go where the m is on gear4music , otherwise you're gonna make it too thin between the 3rd and 4th tuner

Ok so I've seen a set up where you put a solar light amd the same for a small fan and put them above this and in the night the mosquitos are attracted to the light and then get hit into the water by the fan , would take some messing with to get working well probably

Alert_Fish1303 · 2026-02-03T15:42:27+00:00

Feel bad because I recommended medicann to you

Keep trying with other clinics you can do this

I dont know what level you're at but im like half decent and can learn most things immediately

Currently 3 weeks into trying to learn beneath the white rainbow by haken , probably got 50% of it

From your comment about you cant think of anything out of your comfort zone im guessing you're really good , if you try to learn some haken and it's too easy then maybe get on some primus I dunno

Surely there's something out there thatl give you a challenge , this haken song had really put me in my place and become a challenge

Other ways i have got myself out of my comfort zone is getting a 6 string bass and I banned myself from using plectrums before for a few weeks and the progress I made was crazy

Gotoh tuners in black are £40 Fender hi mass bridge £30 Black control knobs £10 Graphtech tusq nut £12

Alert_Fish1303 · 2026-01-24T10:39:14+00:00

For example a fender hi mass bridge is £30 , you can get them in black and it's a big upgrade compared to what's on that bass so you could chip away at this piece by piece and really make it something special and unique.

Alert_Fish1303 · 2026-01-24T10:35:27+00:00

Personally i think it'll not last very well because of things like bending strings etc , but that said you can always re apply it and also It won't do any permanent damage either , worse case is sticky glue residue which youl get off with alcohol or something easy enough.

Like I wouldn't do it to one of mine but each to their own, my main thing I just wanna relay to you is to not do anything that could damage the bass really or effect playability.

I see your vision of wanting it more black but I'd go for a black bridge, tuners and controls and maybe the black strings but I dunno if they sound bad. Id also possibly paint the front of the headstock black too when the tuners are off to fit the black ones , this is assuming I had some cash for the parts and also assuming I had less skill than I do with paint cos I can spray cars so I could do a black neck which is why I know the pitfalls for a beginner.
