Wanna know how I rated all these bass gadgets? Watch the video so you get the full context. Here are some quick blurbs on what they do, and where to find them: *(no affiliate links)*

Funk Fingers: https://www.expandinghandsmusic.com/
Mini drumsticks that attach to your plucking fingers, giving you a totally different tone and attack.

Hot Hand: https://www.sourceaudio.net/hot-hand-3.html
Handheld expression tool that uses an accelerometer to detect your movements and send the signal to an effect pedal through the base station receiver.

NordyMute: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/nordymute
Transform the sound of your bass, making it more muffled and ‘vintage-y’, with this plug-and-play rubber mute.

Soundbrenner Pulse: https://www.soundbrenner.com/pulse
A metronome you *feel* rather than hear, through a vibrating motor you strap onto your body, which can be synced up to the app or a DAW.

Positive Grid Spark Amp: https://www.positivegrid.com/spark/
This super-compact bass amp is also a multieffects unit and a digital audio interface, which can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet.

Getaria Wireless: https://www.amazon.com/Getaria-Wireless-Rechargeable-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B07L5B64RG
Xvive Wireless: https://www.amazon.com/Xvive-Wireless-Rechargeable-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B01N4DSQBR
Both these wireless systems are very simple - plug one in your bass, plug the other on your amp, switch ‘em on and go.

RoadieBass Auto Tuner: https://www.roadiemusic.com/roadiebass
Straight from Skynet, this little robot (supposedly) tunes your bass for you - just stick it on your tuner and it’ll detect the pitch and turn the knob for you.

Guitar Glove: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C4QYTO0/
Nothing magic here - just a nylon glove that can help with various issues including excessive sweating, nerve issues, focal dystonia, arthritis pain, and nickel allergies.

Bonk Thumbrest: https://www.bonkguitar.com/
This non-adhesive, no-drill thumbrest tightens right onto the edge of your acoustic bass soundhole, so you’ve got somewhere to rest your thumb.

Hearos Earplugs: https://www.amazon.com/Comfortable-Protection-Professional-Cancelling-Motorcyclists/dp/B000V9PKZA/
Tiered earplugs like these are a good option if you don’t want to throw down on custom earplugs - just remember they only protect your ears if you take them out of the case and put them in your ears!

Sensaphonics Custom Earplugs: https://www.sensaphonics.com/products/erseriesplugs
The gold standard for musician’s ear protection, you’ll need to work with an audiologist to take impressions of your ears to get started with these - but it’s worth the effort if you’re a pro.
