only TWENTY FIVE BUCKS OMG. https://www.delsonix.ca/products/delsonix-sd28

this is too good to be true

that's Canadian dollars though so that's cheaper in USD right

I wonder how it'd sound fretted though. You don't get the sound of the strings actually hitting the neck which is like the iconic upright bass indicator

Damn that's awesome

I imagine it'd still work, at least as a passive amplifier, with fretted

That's really cool though how much the sound changes

And at the end of the day if it doesn't change the sound as much as you want it's like $20 - sure, it sucks to lose that, but it's still cheaper than practice mutes/passive amplifiers and stuff for most instruments

Yeah I think I'll definitely get it. Might even get one for my dad.

What is this about passive amps and stuff? Never knew about those

They're just little things (people usually homemake them out of cardboard or whatever but they're usually shit) that, well, amplify the sound without needing electricity. You can buy "proper" ones but they get pricey quickly.

lol I should try that. you need a clamp or something though right

yeah you would
