Nice one! Genius.

Beautiful

I did this recently with a strap button. Used a cocktail stick the pointy end made insertion simple! Great hack thank you.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply. It's for switching guitars. Two instruments one amp

For instance anyone know if this is any good? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Morley-Pedals-ADAPTER-Universal-Effect/dp/B003AIM6GK/ref=sr_1_23?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1521215290&sr=1-23&keywords=aby+pedal#customerReviews

Any advice please. Ideally something with level controls for each output. And a good one rather than cheap and cheerful. Thanks.

Genius genius genius. We're on a roll folks!

Genius! Just what I'm looking for.

Hey that's great. Why don't we expand this into a top tips and hacks thread for folk who enjoy finding curious solutions to bass related problems? Edited title and OP to reflect this. Yet another astounding idea. I'd better be careful my foot doesn't fall off.

It's nice to be conversing with a person of taste and exceptional insight. Furthermore with a person who appreciates the great ideas which have shaped our times. Like the electric light bulb, penicillin and my over the door cable tidy.

Look, tidy is a relative concept. My cables dangling from the door like that are 200% tidier than lying in a feckin' great tangled heap on the floor. Of course I now have nowhere to hang my clothes.

Ha ha - I've amazed, confounded and baffled you with my Einstein like inventiveness

Come on, this is the work of a genius. Surely. No?

Let's share our weird and wonderful ideas for making life that little bit easier in the world of bass. Even if they appear long winded and silly and actually use more effort than they save. I'll start: One of those over the door clothes hanger thingies available from all B&M, Poundland type outlets makes a great cable tidy.

You've inspired me! I have a lovely lightweight combo which just,and I mean just, about coped at band practice. It has an output for an extension speaker which could make the difference I need. However the entire point of the small combo is ease of getting the thing in and out of the car so I want something small. Now I also have a very nice 2 X 10 in a scruffy and above all heavy cab with damaged grill that I don't mind taking apart. I reckon I could make a little 1 x 10 like yours employing one of the speakers from this unused overweight cab. So thank you for showing me it can be done. To be frank I'm a little intimidated by the high tech talk around here, although I love reading the threads.

Interesting you say that, another tune we do has a couple of lovely bass runs which I can play pretty nicely on my own or with the original recording yet when I've played it in rehearsal they never quite work. I suspect the drummer and I need to spend a little bit of time together on them. Perhaps their old bassist played something different.

Eeeeeeeeew

+1 I'm just starting to emerge from the pit myself and music has played a big part in my recovery - but not until I was ready for it. I picked up my bass in an idle moment last year having had no interest in it for ages and decided it might be interesting to learn a difficult bassline. The key thing here was however I set no goals, no daily targets. I said to myself it doesn't matter if I'm still learning this in six months time, progress not perfection is the only criteria. I played just a little some days and a bit more on others gradually working my way into a complex and satisfying bassline. When an opportunity arose to play a dep gig at the end of the year that small bit of daily bass work had hardened my finger tips, blown away a few cobwebs, got the hands moving and I was in a better place to learn a proper set. What works for me may of course not work for you, but putting ourselves under pressure when depressed is, in my very humble opinion, never a good thing. Good luck and feel free to pm if you'd like a chat any time.

Learn "Forget You" by something called Cee Lo Green they said. Is that a band? A person? I wondered. Never mind let's have a listen. Ah good, given my hectic learning schedule a nice repeated three chord pattern is just what I need. I like days like these, they make up for the 'now let's learn Everybody Dance' days. Then, just as I'm smiling at myself for having essentially learned the bassline during my first ever listen to the tune, just under three minutes in and the bloody bass player wakes up and decides he's bored. Never count your tofu until it curdles folks.
