Custom Bass Guitar pics - eyeball-frying colour! (5DIII, 50/1.2L)

[Nolly]

Hi chaps!

I'm pretty happy with how these pics of my new bass came out, especially for a quick job . Any comments welcome!

That is gorgeous design on that!!! So simple and clean and understated, design wise, and then made in that screaming yellow color! Nifty!

Oops you put two too many strings on by mistake!

Damn, that is a beautiful bass. I like the pseudo MODULUS look with the neck into body, but not neck through. That color, I typically don't go for yellow, but it really looks good, like a Corvette. Great attention to detail, including the locking input for your cable, DAMN fine bass! I am assuming it's an all active system, some diesel pick ups.

Sounds silly, I have never shot any of my gear, unless it was to make a for sale advert.

Congrats on the purchase! What are you playing through?

Oops you put two too many strings on by mistake!

In my opinion it is three too many (as a guy who play punk)

Really liked the last picture!

looks like I am heading to Jive Sound this weekend, so glad there is a dealer nearby! I wanna play one of these!

Thanks chaps, it seems the bass is quite a hit! It's a fantastic instrument - 33.25-37" multi-scale design, I've got it tuned with a high G to low F# (!).

Any comments on the pictures themselves?

TATTRAT, I play through an Axe-FX II straight to front of house, you can hear my rig/see me play here:



Definitely check out some Dingwalls if you get the chance, they'll blow you away I guarantee

Damn, those are great monitors, and I like the gopro neck idea, lol! Rig sounds stellar.

Cheers dude!

Love the color of the Bass. Nice photos too.

I'm too geeked out by the subject to comment much on the photography, but over all I say nicely done. I wish you had a shot of the whole thing though.

I'm gonna go home and make some noise now.

Thanks! I guess this would be the closest I got to a full-bass shot that I liked:

I find it difficult to get pictures I like of full basses/guitars. They're just so long/narrow as objects, it makes it tricky to place them within a 6x4 crop in a way that looks good to me. Plus using a shorter focal length is often necessary to get the whole thing in shot, which yields unpleasant distortions. Any ideas/examples would be great!
