Another cool flash app from studybass.com – Online Metronome. Sound is nice, but I didn’t check it in mix. BPM – 40-208.

Duracell Procell

In this thread, tplyons recommends Duracell Procell as long-lasting reliable source of 9V for active basses (I think pedals will accept them too ). Never saw them in stores, but I’ll give them a try next time (recently I got 4pk of Energizers). You can got them, for example, on eBay.

Innovative bass pedals

Innovative bass pedals! One of a kind! A must have for every bassist.

Jaco-B-Gone, Bass-B-Havior and Fret-B-Gone from RedTelectronix.

A pedal of the greatest magnitude!! I’ve seen all the grousing on the various discussion boards about “busy” bass players in blues bands and the grief they can cause. Give ‘em a break guys and girls, it’s not their fault! It’s the dreaded Jaco Syndrome (no disrespect intended!). Simply insert the Jaco-B-Gone in your bass players signal chain and he or she will never know what hit them! No matter how hard they try, all that comes out is a deep, grooving, solid bass line.

The best straps ever

If you are looking for great looking durable and comfortable strap for your beauty – check Italia Leather Straps. This is the best straps ever. I read a lot of positive reviews and bought one on eBay – the same seller, but much more cheaper. If you can show me strap that beat this one in quality and comfort and it will cost you $30 – tell me – I’ll take two.
Here is some advices:

Again, use eBay unless there are no such design you want – you can save extra $10 or $20
4″ is more than enough ever if you are 6’8″ and 300lb guy (like me). I have 5″ wide strap and it is ok, but I think 4″ version could be better.
order “long” one unless you are short and your bass is above your belt. Spend some time with your old strap or piece of rope and think twice about strap’s length. For me “standard” is enough, but I cannot make it longer ever if I would.
Be patient and wait – usually it takes 4-6 weeks to get this piece of art

Yes, and prepare for the smell of fresh premium leather when you open your package
