Maybe a "plectrum"?? What do you think?? Naah! You play bass with your fingers, innit? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 A headstock tuner that muted your instrument when you switch it on. The guitarist in one of the bands I play in uses one and between every song it's twang twang hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 A guitar machine - like a drum machine, but for guitars. With a volume knob. And a mute button. And an off switch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Does it have a pout and flounce mode? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has 'rehearsal standby mode' (patent pending) - random twiddling at inappropriate moments at high volume, slightly off-key. A VERY desirable feature.

They didn't sign up for that, ya know! 😉 Edited October 9, 2018 by BassTractor maths or reading 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Sqymbals - square cymbals. The size of the cymbals case for travelling with - especially on flights - is ridiculous, so make cymbals square and then they can fit in a regular suit-case.

One could make round ones smaller so they fit anyway, and more importantly: with square ones, you risk them producing overtone frequencies that are not exact multiples of the fundamental (sorry for primitive wording here), resulting in the need for a GuitarMachine DeluxeTM - Drummers Edition.

Norris Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Not strictly music related, but I want a Star Trek style transporter that can magically transport my gear to and from gigs without me having to lug it about. Of course, I'd probably need to lug the transporter station into position first... oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, a bunch of drunk guys would nick one of the sticks and start chasing each other around the pub with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
