Spoonless
Hold your pint glass at an angle. Slowly fill just over halfway with Bass Ale. It'll look 2/3 full including the head. Don't be afraid to get a nice, thick head on the beer. It'll help you separate your levels.
Pour the Guinness on delicately. Slow the flow control of the Guinness down to a trickle. If you're using a can, make sure you're not pouring too slowly or it'll seep down the sides.
Fill to the top, letting the Guinness hit the side of the glass. Once the head settles a bit, add a bit more.
With a Spoon
Grab a glass. A transparent pint glass ideal, but a clear beer flute works, too. Anything you can see through that's big enough, really.
Pour the Pale Ale at an angle into the glass. Pour until it's roughly 2/3 full with a thick head. When the head settles, it'll be close to 1/2 full.
Hold a spoon upside-down over the glass. Pour the Guinness over the center of the upside-down spoon to dispense the flow. Pour slowly but confidently -- it needs to be a constant flow or else it'll end up flowing along the bottle or can and not over the spoon.
Let surge and settle. Top off with a bit more Guinness if need be. Enjoy!
