BASS T-SHIRTS HAVE LANDED!

Post by jingle_jangle »

Thanks to all for their patience. Below is a sample of the artwork.

The mugs will be available until June 15th, and the T-Shirts until we've sold 250.

As before, we're offering both lefty and righty mugs, and mens' and fitted womens' T-Shirts.

Same sizes and prices as the guitar shirts.

Paul, what's the background on the mapleglow bass?
It looks like McCartney's with the reverse headstock, but what's up with the frets. Doesn't have a horseshoe either and the pickguard isn't vintage. It does have the split bridge and looks like 1/2 inch spacing on the toaster. It has to be a 73, but I'm confused with the headstock and finger rest. Please enlighten.

I think it's been worth the wait.
Great job, Paul.

I'll chime in here.

Bob, the bass you are asking about is mine, it is 1972 4001 LH made in October of that year. It is original and unaltered, just as it left the factory. It has all the typical features of a 4001 made during that period, the exception being that it's a left-handed example.

Thanks to Paul for a great job...glad to have helped out on the project. I kinda feel like a new Dad when I see the artwork, LOL....

Just ordered my bass t-shirt, my bass mug, and a bumper sticker to boot. Definitely worth the wait. Thanks again for everything, Paul!

Outstanding Paul.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Even though I'm not a 'bass boy' (although I hope to be soon!) I've got one on the way...... just to complete the collection, you understand....

Hope I'm not taking away any bass player's opportunity to own one. If it ends up that way I'll happily send it wherever (I won't unwrap it).

Once again, you hit it right, Paul. I have just ordered tonight...I wish it won't take as long as the guitar T-shirt... I really wish that it won't arrive before the guitar shirt... I sincerely wish that my guitar shirt would come in like...tomorrow...boohoohoo...!

Paul,
I said I wanted a lightshow, and there it is! Talk about delivering just what the guy wants. By the way, I ordered a mug this morning and it took my order. Will it ship, as it is past the deadline? I printed out the receipt. Thanks. Ben

Fantastic work Paul...I just placed my order for all of the bass swag.
