Do you just get the one decal from Crox? I remember old feet would send a pair. Useful to have a spare in case of damage.
Yeah, he always sent me a spare
Sorry, just clarifying, Crox sends a spare?
He has to me in the past, yes. I don't know if that's a regular thing but often I've ordered 2 and been sent 3. I have been ordering from him a for long time though.

His are nice solid quality though and I've never had one go wrong or tear.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Bob's are the best imo. Don't even bother with Etsy. Can't speak for Crox - but Fenderbob's look like the real deal from vintage days of old. They are legit silkscreened - no blurriness or pixelation. Goldflake with Vintage vibes. I don't know if my memory serves me well - but could be from same source as Oldfret

I've been quite happy using Atexx Music Shop (atexxmusic.com) for years. Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Mustang, Cyclone, Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Jazz Bass. Also does Precision Bass, Music Master, Fender Bass VI, Bronco, Bullet, Esquire, and Coronado II. Variety of Fender eras, too. 8)

Yup
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I went and dug through ReRanch and George offered some good quality ones as well.

It's a shame it's so difficult to find decent repros. There's always something a little off with the cheap ones. Which is sort of unforgivable at this point given the multitude of close of photos available online.

I'll second this, or third, or whatever. The d3c4ls they have are the best.

I ordered 63 precision decals from both Croixguitar and Fenderbob. Both of them had the metallic silver for the spaghetti logo, which was not 100% vintage accurate. As far as I know, Fenderbob outsources his decals from a very reliable maker, but unfortunately, my decal had a noticeably thin font, and it didn't turn out well. However, Fenderbob was nice enough to refund the money. A+.

IMO you can't go wrong with either of them. If you are in the EU, I would go with Croixguitar as you can save some shipping. On the other hand, if you are in the US, Fenderbob is the way to go.
