Made a video about using AirTags to locate a stolen bass...

Give it a watch, like subsc... oh I can't be bothered.

Old thread, but good work @dmdavies - newly installed in Betsy and another four ordered for other gear!

I have zero Apple products. I suspect AirTags won't work for me right? What's the Android alternative?

looks like quite

a good idea, I only have an ipad for backing tracks and lyrics. It would probably work. I might look into it

It will totally work. I have the same set up.

Samsung do tags too

Just a note on battery life… I’ve just changed it (was in the case, stopped being lazy and put it in the bass today after changing it) and I reckon that’s 2.5 years on one CR2032 battery. Very good!

What a great idea

[EBS_freak]

A mate and me talked about this a while back...

 

 

 

...and produced something similar!

They are great. I’ve set my home (obvs) and my guitar repair man’s workshop as “safe” places otherwise I get told if I leave her behind. She’s back home now, resting…

How far do you, meaning your phone, and precious have to get apart before your phone pings? That could get annoying at times when out and about with bass in boot.

[moley6knipe]

I don’t know, but I’ll test! It’s at least 100m I reckon.

Could almost be worth having another device in the car that the tag is happy being buddies with so it doesn't squawk.

Then you get crooks wandering the street looking for buddied devices so they can swipe the good stuff and shove it in a chickenwire sack to shut it up.
