StringNavigator Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Be very, very careful! I would never pass my coax through a strap. It unplugs for a reason. What if you fall down... and your amp gets pulled off the top of the speaker stack and falls down on your drummer's head...?! And then the weight of the amp falling yanks you across the stage and your bass gets embedded in your lead guitard...? Oh, it's all fun and games until someone pokes an eye out! Just look at this scene, where buddy tripped and fell after catching on fire at 4:19 and pulled down the whole stage! I'd bet he just let's it dangle naturally, now. If you have an extra long cable, simply coil it on the floor. Edited November 28, 2018 by StringNavigator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not actually seen this so can anyone explain how to do this - or even show a photo of it? Do most bass players do this? Don't know why but I'm laughing so hard. Rule 1 of gigs: Make sure you're in tune before you start playing. Rule 2: Pull the lead through the strap. This is basic, beginner stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringNavigator Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Rule 3: Put the plug in the hole. Rule 4. Turn on your amp! Rule 5. Wake up the drummer. Rule 6. Tell the guitard you're seeing his old girlfiend. Rule 7. Wake up the drummer. Edited November 28, 2018 by StringNavigator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
