The 'little things' that make bass life better!

Recommended Posts

After a hectic few days trying out IEM’s, I’d have to say Memory foam tips (Comply, INAIRS etc) are a life saver. 

Everything I've put them on has allowed me to actually wear them. Cant find any Silicon tips that will fit my ears and stay in them securely. Ive had them on my Aipod Pro’s for a while, and my gym earphones. Without these little bits of (overpriced maybe) foam I’d have a very hard time using in ear devices.

Just came across this on eBay and the angled heads are going to provide a useful space saving on my pedal board:

 

DC BLACK CABLE LV POWER SPLITTER 2.5MM - 1 x FEMALE IN/2 x RIGHT ANGLE MALE OUT | eBay

 

Oh and if you want more than one, do it via the "Send me" rather than the "Quantity" and they can then pass on the postage saving to you.

Anyone mentioned these?

If so, I believe they deserve another go. Apologies to Ped, to Grolsch, and to the homebrew stores who supply the rubber ones, but these are so simple to use, under 4 quid a pair, and go on/come off so much easier, yet keep the strap tight and safe.

Actually only one of these needed, but I have two Slazenger ones as well.

I have one and used a black pen to disguise the Nike logo. Stops my wrist from getting sweaty/sticky on bass.

For slide bass, obviously (currently using a flat naturally polished hollow stone though).

 

And...

For hammering the strings, for a Dulcimer effect (currently using a pen with rubber grip though).

 

Also...

 

I'd like to get this one for being able to capo "open" strings chord shapes for slide bass (it's the dAndrea Spider XXL Capo that can be used for 5 and 6 string bass):

I use these stands too because they are so convenient if travelling light - but they are not the most secure, so you have to really (really) careful to only use them where nobody is likely to brush past... had a few close calls with people not looking where they were going 😬

These are just as small and light, and much more stable.IMG_6135.thumb.jpeg.054305922c730d3d717cc7bff6c1acf4.jpeg

iReal Pro - great app that I use now that I struggle with remembering songs/setlists thanks to long covid. Takes a bit of time to set up, but pays dividends in the long run.

Used these on my KZ ZS10 IEMs last weekend on a wedding gig, better than both the stock tips and the Spinfit ones I was using, also dirt cheap:

Also grabbed these to convert my aux in to bluetooth, mounts to the back of my amp with magnetic tape (a couple of £ on eBay):

For me it has to be my fretwraps, I first bought one thinking they were a bit of a gimmick, but I now have one on every bass 🙂

Never used one but, doesn’t it affect the sound and sustain of open strings that you want to ring out?
