Soliloquy Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I use them on my sixes to cut down on sympathetic vibration. I just came across these on Talkbass. [url="http://www.gruvgear.com/fretwraps"]http://www.gruvgear.com/fretwraps[/url] The rather good Anthony Wellington endorses them. Quote
purpleblob Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Ah thanks for that link. I'd seen these in some magazine and forgot what they were called. Not sure how they compare to a simple scrunchy though And yes, have used a scrunchy on my 8 string to stop sympathetic vibrations as well. Quote
Dood Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah, been using scrunchies for years - great for in the studio and for killing strings when doing all that tappy stuff! Quote
Doddy Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah,I've seen them. They look pretty wide though-I wonder how easy they are to slip over the nut and out of the way? I'll probably get a pack if I ever see them anywhere-but I wouldn't go out of my way to order any. Quote
purpleblob Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 They certainly look a little on the wide side, wouldn't mind trying one, but as mentioned scrunchies are most definitely cheaper (esp. as I pinch the wife's ). Quote
JTUK Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Nope....don't use them and have no need for them.... thankfully. Just can't go with the idea, personally Edited May 1, 2011 by JTUK Quote
TheGreek Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 They come highly recommended by Victor Wooten... Quote
Ross Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Occasionally but I utilise open notes a lot so yeah... I use an old wristband I found under the sofa currently, does the same job. Quote

paul_5 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 No, but I sometimes use bass strings to tie my hair back. That's the same innit? Quote
