This thread is nothing short of porn.

Here are my humble submissions. Simply because I didn't see any $$ love.

and

Here is a link to the Sexy SX I just bought off of Joe Nerve. A classic TB bass just the same. **Warning there is nudity.**

Link Removed

The link is broken. Add a "w" to the www part. I did this so I don't get banned for posting a link to a bass with nudity on it. sigh.

Here are a few rules guidelines for pic submission:
1. You need to own the bass.
2. No family pics, one bass only.
3. No professional/commercial pics (don't want to get in copyright trouble)
4. Hopefully around 300dpi quality (recommended size by the calendar vendor)
5. Landscape orientation preferred (I know you can rotate them but sometimes you end up with sideways stands/walls that look funny)

Perhaps a little clarification may be in line.

Most of the pictures posted so far are portrait orientation.
Landscape means WIDER than it is tall... like your monitor.

All of the pictures posted so far should be considered as thumbnail examples only. It's not practical (maybe not even possible?) to post full-res pics in a forum. That means that there will have to be a central location to send any pictures that will actually be used.

A "regular" size, crappy little calendar has pages of 11" x 8.5". The really nice calendars are much larger. A picture suitable to print at a size of 10" x 8" (will leave a border) at 300dpi will have a size of 3000 x 2400 pixels. This is a minimum of 7 mega-pixel image. If you have to crop, you need even bigger. Also for an edge-to-edge 11" x 8.5" print at 300dpi, you need 3300 x 2550 pixels.

Perhaps #3 above could be amended to remove the "no pro" rule, just for the fact that photos of the quality needed for a calender are generally (but not necessarily) professionally shot. Camera phone guys need not apply! ;)

Someone suggested a format that would allow 1 large and multiple smaller shots (different views of a single bass?) per page. I submit that this would make the file size requirements more easily accessible to the home photographer.

Thought this info might be informative for some.

I think the point was to make sure that the users were taking the shots, not the luthier, but good photography is critical.

I didn't think of the smaller shots for lower res cameras, but that's a very good point. I just wanted more basses and more variety.

Since we're already in December, is the OP gonna do this or has this gone by the wayside?
