ezbass Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Gaffa tape; not pretty to look at, but pretty effective. Quote

ikay Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Chap on this youtube clip used a GorillaPod flexible tripod with bendy legs to grip the headstock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8rDzN-Bfl4 http://joby.com/gorillapod Quote

andydye Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Super long velcro cable tidy wrapped around the headstock? Quote
Dad3353 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 A couple of 2BA bolts through the headstock should hold it steady, I'd have thought..? Quote

Otherwise a couple of plastic zip ties might work. Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I've done this before, with mixed results. The most useful way was to use the clip from an old clip on tuner and attach the camera to that using cable ties Quote
jjay69 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 This is the sort of thing you want to look at, should fit most headstocks, use some cloth to protect your finish, most cameras having 1/4" thread will fit, but the main thing is you'll need a camera with pretty wide angle lens to get yourself in shot, go pro styley..

Eventually caved and tried it. Put a bit on, leave for a few mins, rub of with [decent] kitchen roll, then polish as normal. Quote

Was gonna try it, no shops were selling it and found peanut butter in the cupboard. Admittedly I was a bit sceptical at first, but it actually worked. Quote
