Because someone has to keep the groove alive.

This bassist shirt is for the player who stands next to the drummer, locks in the beat and makes the whole band sound tight. It's a heavyweight men's tee with original RaZits bass art, and an easy gift for the bass player in your life.

The design: a bass headstock that turns into a clef

IN CHARGE, OF THE and GROOVE stack on three lines in tall, condensed capitals, printed in a single sky-blue ink with a worn, distressed texture, like a gig poster that has been taped to a rehearsal-room wall for a few years. Two thick bars run above the words and three thinner, wavy stripes ripple below them, boxing the slogan into a rough square badge.

On the right edge sits the detail bass players spot first: a headstock with four tuning pegs whose neck sweeps down and curls into a bass clef, with the two clef dots tucked beside it. One shape, two meanings: the instrument itself and the symbol that tells it which notes to play.

The slogan is a quiet brag every bassist has earned. Guitars may get the solos, but when the bass drops out, everyone in the room feels the gap. This is a shirt for the person who knows the groove lives in the low notes and is happy to hold it down all night.

Heavyweight cotton with a lived-in feel

• A heavier 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²) fabric in 100% ring-spun cotton, a yarn spun tight and smooth so it feels soft
• Dyed after the shirt is sewn, which gives the color a soft, lived-in look
• Relaxed fit with extra room through the body for an easy, untucked look
• The wide 7/8″ collar, armholes, sleeves and bottom hem are finished with two rows of stitching for clean edges
• Fabric tape covers the inside neck and shoulder seams, so they sit flat against your skin
• Care: machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low

Who it's for

Bass players first: the one who plays Sunday services, the weekend cover-band bassist, the jazz student working through walking lines and the teenager who just brought home a first four-string. It also suits drummers, music teachers and anyone who follows the bass line of a song before the melody. As bassist gifts go, it is an easy one for a birthday, the holidays, a graduation from lessons or the night of a first gig. Wear it to rehearsal, open-mic night, a music store visit or a concert.

Quick answers

Which size should I order?

It's a men's tee in a relaxed fit, so it already has some room built in. Lay a favorite tee flat, measure across the chest and from shoulder to hem, then compare with the size guide next to the size options.

Is that a guitar or a bass on the shirt?

A bass. The headstock has four tuning pegs, like a standard four-string bass, and its neck bends into a bass clef, the symbol written at the start of bass parts. It's a generic drawing, not any maker's headstock.

Is there a print on the back?

No, the back is plain. The badge sits on the upper chest, so it reads clearly from the front of the stage or across the room.

How does the light print look on a white shirt?

Lighter than on the deeper shades. The sky-blue ink sits close to the white fabric, so the badge looks pale and gentle there, while the slogan and the clef-shaped headstock remain clear.
