[quote name='dood' post='15078' date='Jun 10 2007, 01:23 PM']I use a hair band or sweatband round the nut of my bass that I can pull up the neck to make a handy 'mute' when I am playing up the 'dusty end' sometimes. I'm amazed at how many forum posts (mainly on guitar forums) that have said this is to make up for poor technique and is cheating! guffaw guffaw!! **[/quote]
I do this whenever im tapping anything, And yes it is to cover up poor technique, but like you said, why make life hard! aha.
