Jakester Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I went with the family to the cinema today, and to my surprise before the trailers, there was an advert for a Fender Jazz Bass! Featuring The Idles, and seemingly filmed in and around Bristol (including the room in Factory Studios that my band rehearses in!) it has the band's bassist eulogising about how great his Jazz is, with lots of close ups of a very lush yellow bass. Anyone else seen it? I think it's the first time I've ever seen a musical instrument advertised in the mainstream media. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Cool, makes a change from ice cream Which film had you gone to see ? I'd be interesting to know - they do target the ads to audiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Ant Man and The Wasp - not sure it had much bearing on the ads! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakester Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 We enjoyed - not sure if that's a great endorsement of quality however, as we don't have the best taste in films! 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHM Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 perhaps that's why a yellow bass was chosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Steve Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I haven't seen that one, but I was surprised that fender were having a big mainstream advertising push on their new Player series - I've seen a couple of ads on the tube, and I've definitely seen a video ad...possibly at the cinema... or it could just be part of this from a year ago: https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/fenders-stylish-new-ad-campaign-hopes-attract-next-generation-musicians-175513/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafianBass Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 There's a few big billboard flyers around Bristol promoting his fender bass, the push has coincided with Idles album release. Adam D is a total bloke and IMO Idles deserve the hype they are creating. His bass tone on the new album is seriously not to be sniffed at.
