Grahambythesea Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 A Christmas gift was this mug illustrated with classic guitars including a Stat, Les Paul, Rickenbacker, Gretsch and an Ibanez. Then there was just one bass, an Epiphone Newport. A Classic no doubt, but a bit obscure, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one for real. No Precision, Jazz, Rivoli, Hofner or Ricky.

Munurmunuh Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Can't believe they didn't go for a SB-55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Or a Rossetti Bass 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 How bizarre! I think the guitars were photographed in person by someone who didn't know/care what a bass is and the Newport happened to be in shot when the collection on the wall was being photographed. It's guitar shaped, innit? There's no way you can randomly Google up a picture of a bass and the first results include an Epiphone Newport.

Munurmunuh Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 If your a mug designer, and you've already put a Strat on do you (a) put a Precision (b) look for something that provides some visual variety? It's not that they've been ignorant or careless, it's that they've been good at their job in a way you're choosing not to perceive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The guitars are all classics, and look good as well. The bass was a "basses can be pretty too" choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Perhaps because it’s short scale it fitted the size of the mug better🤔🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
