I don't get on with active basses — I much prefer passive, but when I used to regularly play an active one I came up with an idea to get around this issue. I never built it, but the design would have been a short length of cable with an inline switch in the middle, a stereo jack plug at one end, and a mono jack socket at the other. The cable from the amp goes into the socket, then when plugging the jack plug into an active bass with the switch set to off the battery in the bass stays off until the switch is set to on. I never bothered to build it as it was easier to just unplug the blummin' bass when it wasn't in use. While typing this up, it just struck me that this could probably be better built as a pedal with a footswitch where the amp connects via a mono cable and the bass via a stereo cable.

I was totally gas-free about a week ago, but then I saw a kala resonator tenor uke at a very good price at trash converters and a b-stock classic vibe competition orange mustang guitar at thomann and I couldnt resist either. They both arrived yesterday and I currently have no gas (for now.)

Was the project was to ruin the bass, but as he only managed to ruin the back, consequently the project is unfinished?

Its surprising to see that someone with enough dexterity to play guitar would have trouble with shirt buttons.

Good idea! I just investigated this and it looks like it's possible to make it fit and possibly plug in the input cable, however there'd be no room to plug in the output cable 🙁

It would have been hilarious if when casting for the cavorting woman in the video they chose someone age approriate for Mick, Keef & Ron.

I got the refund on my visa card after returning the Odyssey, althought the £12 cost to courier it back to the shop was send in the form of a postal order — I probably haven't seen one of those since xmas 1980. I was amazed to see it back on the CC website for sale, but now there's the caveat that one key doesn't work, but no reference to the issue I experienced. I doubt the issue I found has been fixed if there's now a dead key (I certainly didn't find a dead key in the couple of days I had it) — surely if a tech has fixed and serviced it all the keys would be working. Oh well.
