danlea Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Having seen this post of a [topic="64011"]Fender Jag[/topic] and the subsequent comments, I thought it would be nice to have a thread for people's bass-related photography (distinct from the previous 'Great bass photos' thread). OK, so basses aren't necessarily the most common of subjects, but I remembered a photo (larger image attached) I had taken after re-stringing my acoustic on a sunny day: One for the nerds: What's the shutter speed?

TRadford Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) One of mine from a few years back. Not great but its the only bass one I can find at the moment. Most are of the guitarists!

thebeat Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I like a bit of photography but can't say i'm really keen on taking arty shots of instruments...these 2 are about the only ones that aren't straight gear shots More of my crap can be found here[url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alistair_bishop/"]Flickr[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice macro shot tho. The Mrs took this of me recently. Edited October 27, 2009 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Mite Ebanol Precision Neck, poly coated basswood body from my Chinese buddy , Q-Tuner pup and Schaller 3-D bridge. It sounded sublime....
