fret wraps reduce unwanted finger- on- rounds noise and resonances

anyone suggesting it mutes fretted notes has a poor understanding of physics , musical knowledge and logic

Only thing that will do that surely is a bridge end mute

I've got these on all of my basses and guitars. For me they clear up any unwanted resonance or noise. I don't find that it affects the sustain all that much. Wouldn't go without them now. The guy who makes them is a nice guy to deal with as well

Been experimenting with these on my Wal. I've got a gruv gear one.

I'm not convinced to be honest... think I must be using it wrong or I've got a duff one, but it just doesn't seem to mute very effectively unless I have it right up by the 5th fret or higher. That's too high though and it gets in the way. The neck on my Wal is very flat, maybe it's more effective on rounder p shaped necks.

It also seems to do something to the sound of fretted notes too... I doubt I could point it out in a blind listening test, but it seems to take some clarity out.

... I don't really like it.
