Are these photographs primarily intended to show us the bass for sale, or is the seller doing a bit of a "lookatmeeeee"?

I wonder if he's selling the matching camouflage outfit or just showing how much of a dick you look when going overboard with the whole 'camo' thing

[Guest MoJo]

Probably got an olive green Landrover Defender with a 'Wild X' on the bonnet to transport his gear to the gigs and thinks he's a bit of a local hero....."Yeah, you know, that band with the camouflaged bass player" ..... when the reality is, they think he's a right w**ker

All I can see if a bass floating against a natural foliage type background - perhaps he's a bass ninja?

[Cat Burrito]

I wouldn't rush to have him in my army!

Such small photos for such a big man.

Oh dear, I didn't realise that people would rip into him quite that much. I feel a bit guilty now.

[Mr. Foxen]

Is that Mike from Spaced?

I like his add, I think it's aimed at the kind of folk who might buy that particular bass. Good fun, and different from the norm.

[Happy Jack]

Not my sort of thing at all, but in all fairness there's not much point in posting dozens of hi-res photos of a bog-standard £150 Ibanez.

Quite so! Hang your head in shame! It's your fault that this guy’s career as an international rock star is in tatters.

I agree, he is just a guy trying to fight the Taliban, armed only with an Ibanez BTB. He is a hero for our times.

The photos are the least of my problems with that ad- the typography, on the other hand, is almost unreadable.

A man with his priorities right
