You'll be pleased to know that bass and guitar specific cables do indeed exist.. By Monster, of course.
Hahaha I thought that might be the case. Too funny!
Question of marketing, like MXR with their Bass Compressor and their guitar compressor theys ssued later - same pedal, different paint.
Music, but not bass specific.
At a FOH gig this month (I now do them all with ipad based mixers) I was given a highboy table, and a bar stool to mix from. Due to some seriously strange geometry, the bar stool leaned forward enough to periodically dump the Sound Goddess (moi) on my ass with big thump (I'm not a small girl).

I have occasionally found it useful. Like during hot, humid gigs where things can get grabby.

The Thumbs should come with new strings hidden inside the packages, like the cereal boxes or Cracker Jacks. Collect them all. Trade with your friends.
Or dioramas with 10-15 of your favorite thumbs mounted side by side for easy comparison. Press the button below each thumb to hear a snippet what that thumb can do. Of course the dioramas come in different genres - Heavy metal thumbs, Funk thumbs, Motown Thumbs, etc.
How about a necklace made of your favorite thumbs?
THUMB GUMMIES!!
Thumbs with a push pin - call them Thumb tacks.
Thumbs that keeps two pieces of wood together - Thumb Nails.
What do you call an intoxicated digit. - Thumbelina
Ok - I've purged myself
This house is clean.
Toilet paper with said extremity printed on every sheet, for those who walk around with their thumbs up thier @$$.

Finger Ease was in a spray can, and IME made the neck/strings more sticky. The stuff that you rubbed on was called Fast Fret, and I thought it was way better than Finger Ease.
Haha! Classic. Where I live (eastern Slovenia), "češko", which is "Czech", refers to clumsy makeshift stuff like this, as well as anything tasteless and cheap- there are "czech parties" where you come in your most garish and tacky vintage clothing (paisley bell-bottoms and a sheepskin vest would be perfect), and drink cheap hooch until everyone is vomiting all over. This comes from the socialist days when Czechoslovakians had a lot more money compared to Yugoslavians, and would stop by this area on their way to the Adriatic sea.
Czech tackiness really is genuinely epic and charming to this day, though. In Prague not too long ago, I saw a teenage boy in a santa-claus-red velvet 3 piece suit, walking around in broad daylight. In Krumlow, pretty much the whole population looked just like one of our local "czech parties". I'm sure Dr. Who must be very popular, because Tom Baker's Dr. Who would be a "sharp dressed man" by those standards. It doesn't hurt that Czech and especially Slovak women are the most beautiful women in the world- doesn't even matter that the lady is wearing a dress crudely hand-stitched together from her grandmother's dish towels, she is still super hawt.
An 'undrive' pedal that you plug after your overdrive one: instead of switching off the OD, you just have to switch on the undrive ! 
At first glance useless but on second thought I think not:
