| | Have you...killed the Venture brothers!?!? | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Connecticut | | | I personally have no issues with capos on basses, but that's not really the point here.
I know this won't be of much help, but I've seen pictures of Jonas Hellborg using a capo on a 6-String before...I'll see if I can find a pic of it. It didn't look like a Kyser, so it might've been a Dunlop or something...

Pick any of those. If he doesn't birdhunt, too bad. If he doesn't smoke a tobacco pipe, too bad. | |

| | | | capo
For my basses that have 3+ inches of neck width,I usually have to make a custom capo with neoprene or hose, a glass, wood dowel or steel bar with end screws and elastic bands.It is the only quick way to change the scale length for special projects |

I would hazard a guess that this isn't a case of "changing keys" when mediocre guitarists slide the capo up and play the same first position chords all over the neck.

Yes, there are below average guitarists who use them just to allow them to play chords in different keys without having to relearn everything, but just like tuning differently, a capo is best used to change the open notes so you're not limited to only the open notes from the nut. If you do a lot of chordal work on the bass, I can see why you would want a capo.
On another note...Munji, your tagline is creepy. |

Sorry, I'll try to avoid discussing things in an open forum from now on.

The only problem is it's a bit difficult to switch quickly.

Now, we're not necessarily talking about your mother here (or mine).
