i've never heard of a guitarist breaking a pick. maybe it should be the other way around.

 

[Nick Gann]

My guitarist uses Fender light picks, which he breaks daily. They snap like... like... like... something that snaps fairly regularly. couldn't think of anything. My drummer breaks sticks in marching band all the time, but not yet on drumset. He went through 13 sticks last season. Like I said origionally, make some changes if you think they will work better

seriously, the bassist can stop if his friggin' amp gets messed up

 

[Nick Gann]

yes the bassist can stop if his amp is all messed up.

...well that depends weither you play electric or double bass and how big the venue is, doesn't it?

How about, "Bassist do it deeper" in big letters across the front, and "Talkbass.com" on the back with a logo or something?

Actually that's Ron Jeromy's catch phrase... I would by it, but I'm not sure if it's ok to use it.

I rather like simple design. Just a big bass clef in white on a black tee, perhaps with talkbass.com in rather small letters underneath it.

I love TB, but don't relish the thought of having to explain to non-bassists what talkbass.com is, and why it's cool. ("yeah, um, all my friends are cybe-friends", and crap like that).

Maybe having the words "Thump" or something on the back of the shirt.

One thought that I had was a pic of a bass player holding up a stage with the rest of the band on it and the words NUFF SAID under it. Just a thought.

Hey...I like that!

My only suggestion on merchandise is make the shirts in black too please.

 

[thrash_jazz]

I once saw a Physics shirt that had the Navier-Stokes equation on it and it read something like this:

What Part of [big long physics equation] Don't You Understand?

In the same vein, I would gladly buy a TB shirt that had something like this on it:

What Part of Gxdimb7b9#11 Don't You Understand?

Or something like that. BTW, to the best of my knowledge this chord exists only in the minds of the demented and reader's nightmares.

 

[beaglesandbass]

just imagine all we could say undeneath a picture of Mark Hoppus...and all the Blink 182 fans that don't play bass "Hey, why are you putting him down, I bet he's better than you."

Thats cool! I'd buy that!

I personally think a Talkbass hoodie would be great. Black with a mmmmmm... orange bass clef and www.talkbass.com underneath it. Ooooh or a green bass clef.

Hahahahaha!!! If a guitarist practices and no body is there to hear it, does he actually make a sound?

I still wanna see this one...

C'mon now! If we all pressure paul, he will snap and order some!

That's a trick question! A guitarist would never play anything unless someone was there to hear it!

When did you become a mod, Bigfeet? Where the hell have I been all my life?

I've been one, for a while, for the effects forum... ever since jake left and told paul that he wanted me to replace him.

You could have a T-shirt with just

Jaco who?

on it, with www.talkbass.com underneath or whatever. That would amuse me. Not sure why. Also, you could do hoodies as well as T-shirts (do you guys call 'em hoodies in the states or is that just a British thing? Y'know, hooded sweatshirts).

EDIT: By the way, doing a TB compilation CD is a great idea, that's gotta happen
