Lightbulb jusr fabricated or maybe invented a practice device.

It's a small body with no neck and four strings between a "bridge" and a "nut". for right hand practice. Strings are about 8" long, produce almost no sound. I made it from high density polyethelene, some wood screws and some heavy guage wire. It works great. If anyone cares i may post some pics. i can practice anywhere without a bass.

I'm sure i've seen similar hand trainer things like that before, if you had just invented it, bragging about it on the internet is not a wise thing to do before attaining a patent

Hi.

Yep, it's been done. Not a bad idea though.

One quite visible (famous ?) TBer is an endorsee for one such device. At least that's what it says on their website .

The one I'm thinking about has a belt attachement too.

And then there's the "shred neck"...

Regards
Sam

I pretty much figured i wasn't going to get rich off of it. I just wanted to learn to slap and increase my fingerstyle speed.

That other one is for guitards. Mine is for bass players. Mine would only cost $10- not $48.
