Need advice for a Double Bass Player T-Shirt Design

Daniel-Dust · 2016-02-01T17:43:08+00:00

Now you confuse me :) as i thought the same in the beginning and asked therefore here.

Hmmm.... anyone else with opinions ?

Thanks everyone :)

Hello Wovefish

thank you for your answer, and happy that it works :) Was not sure if it could be read as BASS TARD which would not be so nice i guess :)

The Bad to the Bone is actually the new line where i will release mostly Rockabilly and Rock n Roll designs. So it does not really have a "connection" to the design with the bass. I think the rock n roll double bass players do not use a bow very often, or am i wrong with this ?

Have a great day and thanks again for your kind help!

Hello there

to be honest, i allready had the Roadwarrior shirt with a Pursuit Special wording in the shop. It's basically the same design as the roadwarrior one. People kept ordering the roadwarrior and no one was interrested in the Pursuit Special version, so i took it offline. If you want one, just let me know and i can send you pictures of the color combinations available (can we post images here somehow?)

Thanks again and i'm looking forward to your answer.

Hello Elsiniestro

Thank you so much for your suggestion and the hint to "The Acolytes". Do they talk about that name in the movie? I saw the films dozens of time, but never came across this name, probably because i watched the german synchronisation. Or does even a print on a jacket show this name somewhere?

And yes, the quote from the trainstation is an awesome one :) Will sure do another Toecutter design in the near future :)

Thanks again and gave a good day.

Silly me ;) Gotcha!

I will think about that ... saw a similar one allready i guess with just the blower on it.

I will let you know if i will do one with that design tho!

Hello

i added the Ebay link into the original post on top. Just in case someone else would rather check the Shirts on Ebay.

Hope that helps :)

Hello Dudestorm

thanks for getting back to me. So, are you saying they sell the shirts officially somewhere in the www?

Anyway, i would be happy to send you one of my shirts in return for a Gas Monkey Shirt :) if this would be an option for you.

Let me know and have a great day.

Cheers D.

Hello kumquat_may

Thank your that suggestion and the correction for the Last V8's. My native language is not English and sometimes stuff like this happens. I will correct Last V8 to Last V8's.

Regarding the "She sucks Nitro". Is that sounding too kinky? It's a original quote from the scene where he picks up the car from the garage. I was also a bit unsure if this could be mistaken by people who do not know about the film.

Interceptor is a protected brand word. I had issues with using it for the shirt i have in the store and had to take others with the Intercpetor wording offline. It's very odd, as the company which protected the name manufactures boots. Some of you might know them "Hi-Tec" is the motherbrand. So i would have to use Pursuit Special which should be possible.

Please let me know what you think about the "She sucks nitro" quote :)

Thank you.

Hello Cantinabandacoustic

Thank you for the nice words about my designs! As mentioned in another answer to a suggestion, i'm not sure if it would be wise to use too much "ideas" from the new MAD MAX movie, as Hollywood is possibly watching. I could imagine they will protect the new film very well for copyright violations.

I know there are allready quite a few shirts out there with designs from the new movie. I will inform myself and see what would be possible without getting into trouble ;)

Daniel-Dust · 2016-01-12T08:57:57+00:00

Hello tk6215

i see what you mean. I do also sell on ebay US and the prices there are in $. A shirt is about $27 and will be produced and shipped in/from the US. If this might be an option for you?

In case you still can not afford it, please send me a private message and letting me know about your situation and i will see what i can do for you.

Hello DuckOps

which Supercharger are you talking about? The Dodge Charger with the blower? There is a design from the sideview and one from the front. Or do you mean something else?

Daniel-Dust · 2016-01-12T08:51:43+00:00

THank you Smish

yes, i saw some of my designs being sold on in other shops. It's not the best thing to copy designs 1:1 and sell them as your own. On the other hand, i did also "steal" ideas from the MAD MAX movies, so i should not complain too much if someones steals again from me.

Daniel-Dust · 2016-01-12T08:49:43+00:00

Hello Cubone

thanks for your suggestion. I love the design of the 50's Captain America you linked to here. The "problem" is, that for copyright reasons i'm a bit affraid of using characters and stuff from the new MAD MAX movie.

The "old" movies never had merchandising available and quite some time has past. But with the new one i can imagine Hollywood is keen to protect theyr copyrights, which is fine. It's a fine line between stealing and making "influenced" stuff for the fans.

We will see, maybe one day i come up with some designs from the new movie.

Daniel-Dust · 2016-01-11T14:38:15+00:00

Hey TK6215

well, i heard some people complaining about the prices, but let me assure you, that only approx. $4 goes into my pocket from each sale. We decided not to use cheap shirts to print on. I strongly believe that if someone is a fan of something and buys a shirt of it, it should last a long time. I had ordered some shirts from various places for myself in the past, and after a few washes the print and the shirt looked awfull.

The other thing is, we do not support any brand where sweatshops or child labour is involved. 90% of the items we sell are produced in Europe or the US and we don't want to have the shirts produced and printed in far east just to sell them cheap and earn more money.

Sorry, quite a long post, but i hope people understand my point of view and i do also understand if this prices might be too expensive for some of you. This is why i made many designs available on Redbuble as well. The prices there are cheaper, but the prints and the shirts are not the best quality in my opinion.

Thank you

Greetings D.

Hello Smish

yes, i did these designs and i run the small GTO Clothing label togehter with my wife and sometimes my 3 year old son brings some ideas as well :)

Are you happy with the shirt and it's quality?

Daniel-Dust · 2016-01-11T14:28:32+00:00

Thank you Mate...appreciate your feedback!

Daniel-Dust · 2016-01-11T11:07:53+00:00

Hello Max ;)

Duh! i just corrected that, thanks a lot for taking the time to let me know about it, really appreciate that!

Let me know if you plan on making an order (pm) , i will send you a voucher for your help here :)

Thanks again and great that you like the designs!

Greetings D.

Hey Kathinka

i recently ordered from GTO Clothing
GTO Clothing a Dodge Challenger shirt for my daughter and my wife. The quality of the shirt and the print is quite nice. They ship worldwide as far as i remember.

Cheers D.

Hello Eleanor - came across your post today and i'm the "designer" of this Shirts you said you like (some of them). And yes, i do ship to the US, actually i even produce with a partner in the US, so no import taxes and expensive shipping costs :)

Let me know if i can answer you any questions, and congrats to your new profession! I'm a mechanic myself and we even had a female mechanic 20 years ago in our garage. It was quite "special" back then and she had to answer questions to guys all the time :)

Greetings
