Grassie Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ahh you guys are so kind, thank you! Love the wall (Wal?) paper idea... 😉 And I know it' a Saturdee neet, and I may have had a couple or three G&T's, but nobody mentioned a discount, did they...? 😂😂😂 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Simply put, and choosing mild words carefully, this is just bloody fantastic. I also like its graphical style. I'd take one on A2 if the price is right. I'm aware printing on A2 is extremely expensive for you, and this is quite the project, but keep it below 300 quid, and I'm in. Also: a textless version would be best IMHO for graphical reasons as well as the buyer then being able to hang it on the wall in different angles. We could even be ultra cool and turn the portrait view upside down to make make-do lefties. Congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Thank you for all the lovely comments guys. So I am now in the process of pricing this up as an A2 print, to include P&P. I will have to source and buy some postage tubes but that's something that I've been looking at already as I have other poster designs that I'm trying to persuade people to buy... 😉😆 Edited January 14, 2018 by Grassie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Great poster. How about putting them in chronological order (sorry, I'm a Virgo). That would also show the development as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My housemate is a 4X sized ex-competition weight lifter. That's his next Christmas pressie sorted if @Grassiefollows through with shirt merch (or shmerch as I like to think of it). PS: It's got to have to have a BC logo on it if it's a shirt. Edited January 15, 2018 by SpondonBassed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 No, screen printing is the technology for t-shirts. This would be more suitable for mounting on those large frameless, er, frames. The ink isn't fixed (washable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only thinking of commissioning a limited print run on the backs of fifty pairs of M&S Y-fronts when you posted that. Soggy chips now.

Grassie Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Right. I have a price from a local printers that I'm happy with. I'm going to order 10 to start with if I get 10 confirmed orders from BC'ers. I'm not sure if I'm breaking any forum rules by not putting this on Marketplace though... Any solid interest then please PM me. @BassTractor - definitely less than £300... And if anyone has guitarist chums.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That definitely looks the shizzle. Id be tempted 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I'm in then. The £300 number is what I'd have to pay here in Norway for an A2+ size print before P&P, so I thought you could do it including P&P for slightly less in the UK. Of course, if your price is cut to the bone due to P&P being calculated for the UK only, then I'd just wire you more money. Simples. Will PM later.

Grassie Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) That's a hell of a lot for a print. Mine are going onto 160gsm matt finish paper. Definitely less than £50. Edited January 20, 2018 by Grassie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Less than £50 is a steal for a unique lim.ed. work of art. Come to think of it, in fact it's even less than what I paid for my Picasso, Dali and Vasarely silk screen prints! Order, folks! Order! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki_Sixx Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 This is a great idea @Grassie, I'd pop one of these up in the spare room! I'd have to get permission elsewhere I have a Fender tee that's quite similar to this, but obviously only Fender models and it includes "normal" guitars. Are you setting these up to purchase online somewhere? I did a pop-art print based on Fender headstocks to raise money for local charities in mid-2017 that's still selling fairly well. It's an easily recognisable, iconic shape and a nice bit of fun to play around with. It was shortly after winning a Fender competition, and I ended up looking a right kiss-donkey!

Don't worry, it's fine to be seen as Mr F's kiss donkey. No shame in that. I would not recommend actually snogging a donkey however. If the relationship progresses well you will inevitable suffer a lot of discomfort and not just from the embarrassment. You'd also have to wear a nappy and carry a soft cushion around with you for the rest of your life. Have you seen the size of a donkey's? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly in the not too distant future. I have an Etsy store which has a couple of bits on there at the moment. It's early days but this is something I'd like to pursue as a business. My (long-distant) background is in art and graphic design, and I have rekindled my love of anything graphics-related over the past couple of years, possibly also related to the fact that I haven't done anything bass/gig-wise (on a regular basis at least) for the same amount of time.

Linus27 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Looks great. Just thought of another popular bass that would fit well, an Ibanez Musician. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
