sound holes need advice

My last git had two sound holes on the front of the box but for my new one i want to put image on the box and no matter what way i put soundholes on the front counting the bridge pickup and holes its guna cover up too much of my image!

i have seen the soundholes on some gits not on the front of box but on the side mainly the side that points to your face! if i did it like that id have more room for image on front of box.

my question is will it take away from the sound acustically from the git?

any help appreciated in advance!

Except that 2 string bass doesn't have a disc piezo. She states it is a rod type. So buffering the ceramic side won't work really well.

Let me know how that goes. I've been thinking of it too. Probably store bought though.

agreed on all. when i showed some of her videos to my youngest daughter i had said check out what she does with 1 string, 2 strings, etc. now my daughter if she sees me checking out a video, she is very interested to know how many strings are being used...
