James Jamerson Photo Help

Fenderbassfan · #1 06-06-2011, 11:34 AM

Does anyone know where you can purchase the large framed photos (or unframed)? There are lots of pics from James in the early days with is Precision online, but where can you buy them? Like this for example.

Thanks

Download a hi-res version and make your own.

I was looking for a larger, poster size. I wouldnt be able to print it.

If you get the resolution high enough, any Kinkos or similar place can print one pretty big

How do you know the resolution of the pics you find if you google?

(In Windows flavored OS's)
Right click on the picture, select Save Picture As.
Go to the place where you saved it, and right click on it and select Properties. Under the Details tab, it should give you the dimensions & resolution. The higher the dimensions and resolution, the better (you'll get less pixelation as you increase the size).

For example, I did a save as from the posted pic (not enlarged, but straight out of your post) and the Horizontal and Vertical resolutions are 96dpi (dots per inch) with a resolution of 178x180.

*Edit*
If you're using Windows and use the default viewer for pictures, you can use your mouse button to scroll the size. As you make the picture larger, you'll notice blurring of edges and blockiness. You'll want to find a picture that's got enough information that you can get it to the size you're looking for on screen without this happening.

Thanks for the reply. What is a resolution good enough to make a poster size print?

You want a large resolution, but what matters for printing a large un-pixelated image is DPI - 300dpi and a freaking huge resolution would give you a quality, large print. 72dpi will not. The higher the DPI the better.

Another cool thing about google -- you can do an advanced search to only return higher-resolution results.

Thats a classic Jamerson picture.
So much so, I had it tattoed on my leg. See my avatar.
I would love to have that in a poster too.
I think Bass Emporium in Austin Texas has one

Fenderbassfan · #11 06-08-2011, 09:22 PM

I know they are out there. If it's not that pic, it's a poster size of another. I've seen it

I would pay money for a quality poster with that image. His family should look into licensing it to someone to sell.

We do have a number of posters in the store here, including Jamerson. We had high-res photos that we took to Kinkos and had the posters printed on a fabric like material.

Fenderbassfan · #14 06-09-2011, 10:12 AM

Kyle,
Would you please send a pic of the poster you have. Is it framed? What is the cost?
Thanks

I would take that info as well

Gecko, I am amazed at your devotion. I have a strong connection to JJ which was formed from a bond I had with my brother who passed away in 1996. He was a pro bass player. Maybe one day we can chat. There arent many people who would get it.

Gecko 5 · #17 06-09-2011, 10:15 PM

Jamerson is the reason I still play bass

Fenderbassfan · #18 06-10-2011, 07:37 AM

Do you play like him?
