Whay are there no t-shirts with basses on them?

So, I went to Khol's today to pick up a few new t-shirts. As of late, it seems to have become trendy to have some sort of imagery of guitars and such on them, but there are none with BASSES on them.

Why is this? I want a shirt with awesome bass imagery on it! Is there an untapped market that needs tapping? Could I be making money on this?

There is a website in the States that's already doing so. They have tens of thousands of designs, but yeah, there are bass t shirts out there.

basses aren't as popular as guitars...you wouldn't sell as many imo

I have a t-shirt with Family Man smoking a jay with Bob Marley. On the front it says, "One bright morning when my work is done..." and on the back it says "I will fly away home". I think it's a Wailers shirt though. Good enough for me though.

I also have a golf shirt. And a green t-shirt. And a pair of brown shorts. And a flip-flop.

I picked up a bass shirt when I went to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland a few years ago. It's black with a big, dark orange F Clef on the front. So they are out there.

my christmas present from my gf was a white shirt from Aeropostale with a precision-esque bass leaning on a very vintage Fender Bassman-esque amp...pretty neat

Musicians Friend has a few, from a buisness point of view the guitar shirts sell more since there are more guitar players than cockroaches on the face the planet.

I've bought quite a few instrument-related things from this site.

I've got an old Fender shirt with a Precision sailing down the highway. Sadly, I'm too fat to wear it now.

I saw a t-shirt in Primark (A cheap British chain store) the other day with various ashdown amps on it, most people who buy them will have no idea that they are bass amps though.
