Open Call for Bass Photos and Videos!
You can be featured on one of the most familiar and longest-running upright bass sites on the internet!
Now that we've transitioned to our brand new website (July 2020) we'd like to start sprucing the place up a bit. One of the places I've noticed we could use a boost is visual content. For instance, we have all of these wonderful FAQ/Knowledge Base articles, but some of them are a little "dry" because there aren't any cool photos to accompany the wall of (very informative) text. We thought it might be in-line with our "community approach" to invite our customers and other bassist friends to provide some real-world, personalized content to our pages.
So here's the "open call" to our many friends and customers - if you have a photo or two you'd like to share, or even a video review or unboxing of products you bought at Gollihur Music, we'd love to consider featuring them on the site!
Here's a list of some of the photos we can definitely use:
Bass Performance:
- Playing solo repertoire with a bow
- Performing live with a mic and pickup
- An energetic performance shot - spinning, climbing on, or being a little "wild" with your bass
Other Bass Playing:
- You playing an electric upright bass
- Playing a left-handed bass (full acoustic upright)
- Playing a bass with a bow
General Instrument Shots:
- A really funky/unusual old bass
- A really nice or well-played old Kay Bass, particularly a less common model
- A bass with REALLY old, decrepit, worn-out strings
- Bass with gut strings
Maintenance and Transport:
- You using a bass wheel or buggie
- In the middle of changing your strings on your upright bass
- You carrying your bass in a bag/case
Gollihur Music Product Shots:
- Basically, you using any product you've bought from us. The item should be pretty easily seen/identified if possible.
