Basschat Sticker would be good as it could go on the grill of the cab, gig bag, flight case etc as well as the car window. Variety of sizes would be good also.[/quote] Does that mean you'd have to take your cab to every event even if not playing...... Edit...Wristband is a cracking idea imo Edited April 5, 2011 by farmer61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Perhaps a BassChat hairband? Here's MacDaddy, silddx, Low End Bee and Happy Jack at the King George in Chiswick last week [attachment=76742:Tuff_Pho...am_Hames.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that we're all looking to change that and it wouldn't take much to take a cursory glance a few inches down after thinking "I wonder if they're on BC..." when watching a bassist on stage.

Chris2112 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 You can always spot the bassists at a Level 42 gig. I remember seeing Mark Palmer at the first Level 42 show I went to, I can only commend the man's taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipperydick Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 [quote name='bluesparky' post='1189137' date='Apr 5 2011, 03:35 PM']Why not do a machine gun style blistering slap bass solo, far too loud, in the wrong key and with no rhythm in the middle of a ballad and then give the audience a knowing wink? Or the plain white badge on the strap sounds good....[/quote] I been Known to do that after a little liquid refreshment, grin rather than a wink though. Used to piss the drummer off no end.

Should we go down this route, does anyone know about how to source / obtain custom wristbands?[/quote] 24hourwristbands.com do them, they're good quality stuff and not too expensive either, last time i looked they had an 80% off sale that put them at about 18p per wristband for an order of 300 embossed silicon ones, they even do glow in the dark.

flyfisher Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'd go for a wristband or two. Definitely an embossed one for durability, perhaps with some bass clefs as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I seem to remember some guy with a basschat (or a previous version) sticker on his rack (hehe) that looked cool i thought. I vote stickers.
