Does anyone else take their basses to weird places for photos?

[GarnetDK]

Hi all,

I've been a long-time low-end lurker and finally have something to share. I have a bit of an obsession with photographing bass guitars in places they definitely don't belong (like an abandoned basement for fruit storage) This one here is a close-up of my Fender Japan Mustang Bass CIJ - The lighting in this basement was too good to pass up.

 

I've actually started documenting my basses and these "strange places" over at my website because I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Curious to know if anyone else here does on-location shoots?

If you want to see all the basement photos, here's the direct link: https://bassesinstrangeplaces.com/bass-journeys/the-old-orchard-basement-storage/

Back in 2011 one of the guitar blogs at the time was asking for photos for a page a month calendar with a free calendar for those whose photos were chosen.

 

I got up very early one August morning and went into Nottingham city centre, when it was just light but hardly anyone was about, to take these two (amongst many others) which were selected:

Did you treat it to a 'Wigan Salad' (Pie, Chips, Peas and Gravy) while you were there..?

No I had a pie barm.

I don't, but I should - I tend to photograph mine (individually) on backgrounds of brightly-coloured fluffy fabric, or more recently on a rainbow rug!

 

Request thread title change to 'Basses In Strange Places' & let's make it a thing!

Cool. You've got something that feeds ya head.

I get as far as the garden, up against the fence...
