    Hey there;

    I've REALLY been enjoying TalkBass a lot over the years and since I can't readily afford a proper membership, I'd love to give back, so I designed this shirt. If any of the owners are interested, I can send the final vector file to size and ready for print.

    In the meantime hopefully people can vote on it. I tried to keep it simple and representative of both Upright and Electric Basses, and I kept the print cost low by making it just white ink. You can offer different color shirts, but I know from experience that black shirts ALWAYS sell.

    I just want to openly thank this community for all the advice and entertainment and camaraderie. It's really been great.

    Cheers
    Liam

    It's nice, but there's one thing that i would add. Either above or below where it says TALK BASS, it should also say PLAY BASS ... possibly in a slightly smaller font.

    Is that the official slogan for Talk Bass? I'm just working with what the site shows me in the masthead.

    white logo on black t-shirts is so cheap :( but if you used the yellow accent color from the site (or color of the clef in the logo) instead... now we're talking! I'll take one!

    Love the brown t-shirt!

    For thgose who don't know, it's TB protocol to always offer carrots as an option in any poll, at least if it's a poll about one's preferences or what's "best" or "better" for anything.

    For instance: what kind of bass do you like best? 1) J bass. 2) P bass 3) stingray 4) carrots

    Or: What color pickguard should I put on my bass? 1) tort 2) tort 3) tort 4) tort 5) carrot tort.

    Like that.

    I love the TB shirt I have... Only one flaw. They are not resistant to swimming pool chemicals.:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:.... From now on I plan to wear white shirts when I tend the pool.

    And you always need one guy to say:
    I don't see poopiee except a website and no clue, and a bunch of skulls who in no way imply I should inquire about some "TalkBass" site...but I would tend to buy a shirt, pert near any shirt...

    A nice idea but I think your design is way too fancy.
    Us bass players are simple modest folks.

    it looks kinda sporty for a bass player forum. Needs more smoke, alcohol, & drunks trying to telling it how to play. my avatar is something I drew based on the that very concept. very classy stuff.. lol

    I think your design is well done.
    The Laurel, IMO makes it seem rather formal though.
    I prefer the more casual look of the current Logo.
    That's just my tastes.

    We NEED flashy shirts, since we're not allowed to talk. ;)
