FAO artisan phographers of the basschat marketplace...

[1970]

A picture like this shows me what your bass looks like:




I've had enough of the 'sassy' bedroom shots from all angles. Just show me the whole damn thing front on please.

Ahem.

[BetaFunk]

I only think a photo of a Bass is complete if there is a pair of old socks, a settee and the owners cat in it.

Grumpy.

[Clarky]

Sorry OP, very poor quality shots, too much reflection

[Jellyfish]

A picture like that shows me what colour it is and that's about it!

Seriously though, I'm not a stickler for quality photography, but the more pictures the better in my opinion. However, quality over quantity every day!

Unless you're selling a Fender. Then at least we know they're all the same really... [i]Just kidding.[/i]

[apa]

[i]awwwww maaaaan if I had the bread I'd be all over this! What colour is it? Is it still for sale? [/i]

[BigRedX]

Terrible photo in the OP. It shows nothing that can't be conveyed by the sentence:
Black Fender Jazz with tort pickguard and rosewood fingerboard.

So... this particular bass is grainy and indistinct, then?

I like making an effort, like this




I think images like this sell a bass (i'm not selling this bass)

The old 'I'm not selling tactic' always makes them want what you got.

[Grangur]

Sorry 1970, but your pics are too high in contrast for us to see the full features of the bass. Also, you're missing the reason folk take pics from all angles. They're either showing the dings and scrapes, or they're showing it doesn't have any. From your pics I have to take everything about the damage on trust.

Cheers

It's not necessary to see the full picture in order to get the picture:

It's daft to buy something someone WANTS to sell. Something they HAVE to sell - those are the deals to look for. This means the pics I really want to see are the seller's starving kids.

First and foremost, I just want to see the shape of the bass, man. Front on.

THEN show me some dings, and whatever, don't make me click through 25 photos of the front and back of the headstock and a closeup of the bridge and some of the fretwear before I ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THE THING LOOKS LIKE FRONT ON.

I've reported all your posts for not being in agreement with me, and you can expect to hear from my lawyers. Please provide your real names and addresses for the court summons.

Will consider PX for a mid 90s MIJ Jazz with a matching headstock.

Time wasters welcome.

I'm tired of the threads getting 1000s of views.

Too many window shoppers.

73 watchers and no bids?!

THE HELL?!

[Happy Jack]

OK, I'll see your full frontal

Yeah that's exactly what I want to see.

Not wanting to single people out, but I'm going to totally single people out:

I have little to no imagination, is what I'm saying. Which is clearly your problem not mine.

[1970]

Happy Jack, that P is stunning, btw. Wow.

Shouldn't this be in the 'letters to Playboy' section?

[Jellyfish]

I'd be more concerned about the quality of the photo than the amount, although I agree that sifting through 10+ photos of the same bass is a little bit tiring.

But what annoys me more generally tends to be the quality of the photos. Learn to use a camera!
