I prefer the clock, too. Unfortunately, my band isn't as keen on that one as I am. Probably because they had no idea *** it was when I first showed them that, and are worried most other people won't understand it either.

You underestimate, I think, who will get it and who won't. But, when you're making an investment into merchandise, you gotta start with the safe bet and expand to the trendy. T-shirts are a big starter investment. What other merch are you guys plugging?

Looking at all this from my phone, but I would have gone with the clock too, except at 12 I'd put "END" I didn't get the name until you explained it. That might help a little. Just a thought.

If you can't tell, the clock is a doomsday clock at midnight. The band name is "End of Era" squished down, so I thought it was suiting.

I vote for the clock as it makes it diferent than just another black t-shirt with a word printed on it. As for their argument that the clock has to be explained, so does the name of the band.

I like it in any case.

Great space and great bass collection. I see that you have a "bass-ment" too.

And a "drummer with bass" pic. (That'll confuse some people.)

The "bass-ment" does rock.

Nah, I personally don't care if anybody else gets it

The other guys are the ones that are concerned. Aside from the shirts, probably just stickers for now.

I like that. When I'm feeling more motivated, I'll hop back on Photoshop and do that.

"bass-ment," lol now why didn't I think of that?

is that wall lined entirely with music CDs? If so, that is quite a collection! Nice bass too.

Just stop. You're hot. Don't argue with me.

Wife is gone for a couple days to visit friends. The house is to quiet/empty. Think I'll sleep on the couch tonight.
On the plus side, there's left over goat curry for dinner.

Thank you.

The cd wall wraps around my music space, about 2500 cds at last count. They are in alphabetical order by artist and then in order of release date. There's no point in having these many CDs if you can't find a song you want to hear.

I have two pa systens setup. On has a DJ style dual CD player and dj mixer going into a power amp and then speakers. The other one is a powered mixer running into speakers for practicing.

Nice. I used to be that organized, in exactly the same system. Not sure what happened to me, other than having three kids and now the family splitting our time between two places 100 miles apart from each other. (All of which is good, but not for maintaining the wall of CDs.)

That, and CDs being supplanted by other media, especially all the mp3s on my laptop (for me) and the amazing ipod collections that my kids have, which we plug into the various music systems we have.

My trade-off with all of them, was that I got ... the bass-ment.

Good to see this is still going strong....may sound odd but I miss haveing the time to read throu all of the post , Hope all is well with you guys and gals and basses.
the bands are keeping me busy, played last night at the LCW event in Lancaster Pa, had a room of about 250, was an awesome show.
Manged to post a bunch of my own stuff on Reverbnation
ReverbNation

My Retrokast band has a few real Kewl things in the works...Real great things I should say.
I'll keep lurking around as long as I can.

drummer5359 · #**619** 02-19-2012, 09:32 PM

We are still CWBing. We are more than halfway through the 12th edition, simply amazing.Some of us have personal things happen in our life that may pull us temporarily away, but we find our way back.

Tat2dHeart · #**620** 02-19-2012, 11:01 PM

I'm baaaaack! Tonight's show was pretty good. Grendle rocked his green Spector (it looks a like FM's green Spector) and I got to put fingerprints all over it. The Abbey is an awesome venue that I'd love to play one of these days. Really nice space and easy to load in and out of. They had a few technical difficulties, but I don't think anyone would have noticed if they hadn't been pointed out to us.
