Gruvgear Fretwrap MD

I've been using these fret wraps for about 4 years on my 5 string basses and I've buying this one to replace my first one. They're really useful both live and in the studio to keep everything sounding clean when you're playing slap or tapping as they mute the unwanted open strings. I find them particularly useful when playing slap grooves live that I'm having to transpose with wedding bands as I can use it as a false nut (like a capo) to limit my range of notes to what I need to play for the song and it prevents open strings from ringing out when I'm playing a line in a place on the fretboard I'm not use to while having to perform BVs and look like I'm having fun performing. This one is to replace my first one, the velcro has degraded to the point that it no long sticks after years of use - you're going to have to replace them same as strings and picks but hopefully not as often. Worthwhile bit of kit.

I bought this because of something my guitar teacher said about practising just using your left hand to build up muscle memory and independence .
For this you need to mute the open strings . My teacher has headless guitars and uses a hair band . Ok for headless , but not if you use a widow head stocked BC Rich Warlock . This worked great on the Warlock ,also the Beast and a naked Venus Faith electric/acoustic , and also the Lag black shadow I use as my main guitar. It worked on my Ibanez S420 but being slightly smaller would better to use a small Fret wrap. It is easy to use and does what it was designed for .Plus easier to use than a hair band . If this is something you might try get one .
