And perhaps an Aria SB1000 tho, the ones you chose are more First Division iconic than the SBs (much as I love them). Fantastic pic BTW, totally love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nudge nudge - If you go to a second poster featuring basses, I hope you will remember the first ten of us by way of a loyalty discount on ordering a second poster. - Wink wink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassie Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Maybe (due to the Ibanez suggestion and the Aria exemption) I'll do a second piece dedicated to Japanese basses... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) C'mon, you need a Carl Thompson on there... and at least one Ibanez...but I can see you're running out of space.... Edited January 29, 2018 by Spoombung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Struggling to see any five strings on there. Jimmy Johnson's Alembic for example. First purpose built low B fiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to limit the piece to 20 basses, and I had to decide which ones were more iconic than others. The only iconic Ibanez I could think of was the Musician but it got bumped out in favour of the Jaydee. Others have mentioned models that were "bubbling under" - maybe a second piece is called for, but I think I would struggle to find 20 more basses as iconic as the ones you see here. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First purpose built low B fiver. But is it as iconic as a Stingray or a Precision? Again, I wanted to limit it to 20, and there are just too many 4 strings that sit above any 5 string in terms of being recognisable to most bassists (and musicians). "Iconic" is the key word here, but I totally understand that it's subjective. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 To all those that have expressed interest in ordering a copy of this - I haven't forgotten you, I will get my @rse into gear and will be visiting the printers this week. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This is still an awesome project. Will there be extra copies so latecomers to the thread could get one of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 So where are you with this. I don't see an actual price Grassie. How do i place an order with you. I'm still very interested. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered 10 copies from the printers, 3 have been sold (plus one of the guitar pieces), the rest will appear on marketplace. I was going to try to get 10 pre-sold then order the prints but it hasn't worked out like that, and I didn't want to keep those that had ordered waiting too long. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without checking whether I'm right, after following this thread it's my impression that one has to search for the project standings info and the pricing info. In case this is correct, I think that maybe a new thread (or maybe just a new title for this here thread) is in order. and also very clear ordering and pricing info in the OP - should such a thread be allowed by the mod team. At any rate: good luck, and thanks for doing this! Edited February 14, 2018 by BassTractor speling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Folks, get yer lazy derrières over to that sales thread, and start ordering. It's a wonderful little poster indeed, printed on good, thick and stiff paper. I'm now a very proud owner of two of them (one vertical and one horizontal), and I really wasn't kidding when I mentioned my Picasso and my Dali and compared this to those in a favourable way... Er... yes, I was kidding, but at least I wasn't lying. Now buy this thing. Edited February 27, 2018 by BassTractor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I meant to add to this thread that i received mine few weeks ago and it is a fantastic poster. You can either simply pin to your wall as it is much like we used to do when we were all teenagers where your bedroom wall was a shrine to all your idols or you can get it framed either DIY or professionally and it will still look cool no matter how you decide. Great piece showing some historical or iconic basses. Thoroughly pleased with mine. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo-London Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 How about sizing the basses based on numbers sold. So the Precision would take up most of the page and the Grabber, for example, would be tiny? : ) Davo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
