Love that bugeye 'fish.

I think a big coffee table type book would be much more valuable judging from all of the wonderful basses represented here on TB. Maybe have specific calanders as mentioned before (vintage, modern, ERB, ect) but if it was in a big book you could have bigger pictures and info about the bass, the builder, random facts, etc. It would make it alot more in-depth and interesting IMO than just a calander with a dozen or so basses and no story.

I'd be happy to help write it - im in college for an english major so writing is no biggie for me

Good idea.

I like the more "artsy" shots as well.

Hellz yeah! I'm kinda debating taking some artsy shots this weekend if I have some time.

i'm going for the 365 bass-a-day calender. it'd just work out better, methinks.

You will probably be able to sell a lot more this way. Who wouldn't want to purchase a calender that has a pic of their own bass?

Without sounding harsh, I haven't seen more than 30 photos that were that great from a photography perspective, basses aside.

Shooting instruments does involve a certain amount of challange ...

Indeed. I was kinda talking how someone wanted 365, although I should disclose that I thought yours were shot very nicely. An out of focus bass in bad lighting isn't something I want hanging on my wall, ya know?

This isn't a serious submission, I just like how the headstock seems to be rising out of the lake or maybe is on the prow of a ship lol

A valid point. Perhaps a weekly calender would be a good compromise.

If it were up to me, I'd go with 12 themes and 4 pics per month. 1 major, one smaller one beneath the actual calendar, and 2 small ones. All with the theme in mind.

So... when is this going to actually happen, and any word on who will use which pictures (It sounds like there are several people planning different things - a book, calendar etc)

 

[anyonefortennis]

Well, seems like a lot of people want a lot of things around here, lots of great ideas but finding someone to do page a day calendars at a reasonable price is not easy so we'll probably stick to the 12 month format.

I agree that we need high quality pics above all.

What are your favorites so far?

 

[Woofenstein]

Cool idea - here's my 51 Precision Reissue w/ crappy photography...I really did try though

 

[lbpark]

All these pics and only one Wal so far? For shame....

 

[Jonah]

Not bad:

A touch bright, but it brings out the figure.

Decent attempt:
