Bass Pedal Fix

[doitle]

Our bass pedal broke a few weeks ago. I figure I could have sent it back but the new one will just break eventually too. It's a plastic pedal that takes a lot of abuse so I'm not suprised they break. Anyhow we came up with this little fix for it and it seems to work great. It actually has a better feel than the original because it's more rigid. The only difference in playability is because the pedal itself is thicker, you have more leverage on the pedal since your foot is higher up off the hinge. What this translates into is that it's really easy to activate the pedal so initially we had some problems where we werent careful about lightly resting a foot on the pedal and activating it ruining streaks. All in all though I think this actually improved the pedal and makes quick successive hits easier. I think next I'm gonna try to add some washers to tighten up the spring so the pedal comes up faster after a depression. Anyone have any thoughts or similar mods on theirs? I know it's ugly right now but, I'm gonna paint it Bass Pedal orange, and put grip tape on the top with a nice RB cutout.

My bass pedal just snapped in half, too. I barely had the game for a day and a half. So how exactly did you go about doing this? Just cut a piece of wood in the shape of a bass pedal? Is there anything under the wood?

I think a good tutorial is in order.

Please. I need it.
