What's the best way to operate the mouse when you've got both hands occupied changing strings with the bass on your lap while sitting in front of the computer?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Either with your nose or your chin.



Just say "no" to neck gunk!

 

[Mobay45]

A little different from the way I've always done it. I'll try that technique on the next string change though. Like my bass playing, I'm self taught on string changing too.

After only 25 years of playing, I now know the right way to put strings on my bass.

 

[Alvabass]

The only difference with my way of changing strings is that I don't remove them all before putting the new ones. I replace them one by one. I may be wrong, but I feel that the neck suffers the least with tension changes by doing it that way. Anyway, don't forget that after loading your bass with fresh strings, you must stretch them!

LOL...that's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
