[kj] OT - Bass play

[Leigh Newton]

What you might want to opt for instead is a whammy
pedal. With that, you have several options all in one
pedal. An octave down, and octave up, 2 octaves up,
plus a harmonizer with several different intervals.
All that, and you can slur the notes using the pedal.
Very cool little toy.
