    Fretwraps are also good for getting rid of sympathetic resonance, especially to get a "cleaner" distorted tone.

    I just got ne of these to try. I played bass professionally many years ago and I never used one. However, now I am busy recording the songs I write, I use a 5 string fretless, and am getting tired editing out string noise. I had noticed several bass players using these string mutes , particularly the bass guitarist Andrew Gouche I watched him playing bass he is awesome! So i will give it a go, however that's a good point you made about harmonics, and i do use those in certain songs and pieces of music, but I think for the most part this will work for me. I like your bass playing!

    I’m just starting bass (after 55+ years of acoustic guitar). I really appreciate your insights and suggestions on cool bass licks. Your playing is amazing and your enthusiasm makes me want to learn more. I’m still trying to get my scales, arpeggios and triads to sound right (I’ve only .been practicing 2 weeks). But I can see that most of these bass lines are contained in those concepts. I just watched the interview with Carol Kaye and was blown away. Thank you for suggesting looking her up. Hope to see more of your stuff in the future. Thank you.

      No, I don't think so. Credibility and integrity are two key features if you make gear reviews. We should not forget that most folks is pretty lazy. Yes you could take a sponge and cut it to a fitting stripe, but the lazy guy or gal just grabs that device and is done. And as she told a hairband could be used, but to get the right pressure is trial and error and time consuming. A remember Carol Keye once said in an interview: Mostly she did not change strings, often simply she got a new bass.

    fretwraps are great also for headstock chime (when popping and slapping).. or to make your open notes sound more like fretted notes. have it just slightly over the zero fret. they never leave the basses. still muting and proper finger placement remains key always. its just a cool tool

    You can achieve the same results for cleaning up the unwanted noise from open strings by spending more time practicing.
    The sponge or foam bridge mute is a much better alternative than that Gruvgear Frump thing - $22.00 and it didn't even work properly.

    • @rosco3516
      @rosco3516 5 лет назад

      I agree. Practice first. And if its at the neck like that its not getting the overtones of any played strings. Bridge mutes work much better and allow harmonics.

    • @philipschrantz8402
      @philipschrantz8402 5 лет назад +1

      True to a point, but a bridge mute mutes the string all the time, whereas muting at/near the bridge mutes only open strings - fretted notes still ring and possess the harmonic content of the string between bridge and fret...

    I would like to point out that the amazing Jeroen Paul Thesselin plays a Warwick Thumb NT fretless 7 string bass on the most recent Obscura release, A Valediction. Same with Pestilence. Those are likely not the only two releases to feature his 7 string, but off the top of my head that's all I can think of. Andre Lamoreux from the band Fields of Elysium and Linus Klausenitzer formerly of Obscura, as well as Dany Hauser from Veil of Maya, all play different variations of the Ibanez BTB series 7 string. Linus is the only of those 3 shoe BTB is a fretless.

    I use these on all of my acoustic guitars so the guitars don't speak until I need them to. The sympathetic resonance will ring out when recording in my room, so I just throw these on and it stops that issue completely.

    • @stevenwarner9156
      @stevenwarner9156 5 лет назад

      I do the same on my acoustics. Particularly to stop the strings behind the nut ringing out when I play. Otherwise I don't find them useful unless playing 6 string basses. I use a form of floating thumb technique to mute lower strings, and my fretting hand to mute higher ones and never had muting problems on a 4 string. I can see these being very useful for people who don't use a form of floating thumb technique, though, and for certain situations. Can't be too good if you want to play open strings, mind you!

    Original Precision and Jazz basses had a piece of hard rubber glued to the underside of the bridge cover that served the same purpose.

    Thanks for your Fretwraps Tutorial!
    REQUEST TOPIC: "How To: Not Getting In the Way of a Keyboardist's Bass Synthesizer playing Bass Octaves in certain songs."
    Just how to go about enriching-contributing to the band's performance. So, what do you as a Bass Guitarist actually play as to
    not compete with the Keyboardist?
    Would you as The Band's Bass Guitarist use a Bass Octave Pedal with other Bass Synth Pedals when the Bass Synthesizer Keyboardist isn't there?
    How about for an example.... exhibit No. 1 . . . Steve Winwood's "Valerie"?
    Steve's earliest RUclips Videos of his live concerts show a 5-String Bass Guitarist present in his band playing "Valerie".
    Yet, in Steve Winwood's later live concerts of "Valerie" we see only Steve and a Second Keyboardist playing... no Bass Guitarist. Maybe, you might
    want to throw into the mix of this Topic, The Bee Gees' performance of "Nights on Broadway". Here we hear a lot of Bass Synthesized Sound, yet
    is it "a Bass Guitarist using Bass Synth Pedal(s)", or is it simply a Keyboardist playing "keyboard Bass Synthesizer"?

      This. If you have good muting technique, you don't need fretwraps. You can actually use some of the sounds fretwraps remove intentionally if you want, or if you have good technique, you can eliminate those noises at will.
      It's just for people who haven't taken the time to practice their instrument, in my opinion.

    You did a show on acoustic/electric micro basses with the rubber strings and you tried different things to quiet the “squeaky noise”.........you have to do another show and demonstrate how well ordinary ‘baby powder’ works....that’s right ‘baby powder’ is a game changer. Just dust your hands and fingers with it and rub it on the strings. Instrument will play super slick. I believe it has a silicone component in it. I have a fret less 23”scale Gold Tone micro bass and it plays and sounds amazing after discovering that. Cheers

    For that Motown/R&B muted sounds there's an alternative, that's more likely to work well on any bass: the Nordymute from Nordstrand. Ok, it's more expensive, but if you really dig that muted sound, I'm pretty sure it'll be worth a try.
    ... or just buy a Musicman Stingray Classic or Rickenbacker (lol)

    Can you leave the fret wrap on the first fret (it doesn’t look like it’s take up the whole fret, so it should still leave enough space to play on the first fret) and jam normally instead of having to slide it up the neck when playing in different keys ??

    does a fretwrap interfere when you are trying to play on the 1st fret?

  • @PlayWithYourThumb

    Having used both the foam and the Fret Wraps, my 2 cents. PRO'S: If you play covers like we do, you can easily slide on/off between songs and "tune" the wraps much more easily than a piece of sponge. CONS: They cost a lot more.

    Does placement of the wrap on the neck have significances other that more muting? Can it act like a capo and affect the harmonics and scale?

    Julia are these easy to slide with thumb when loose (and do they lose functionality then?) Trying to find these fretwraps but seems hard to get them (at least on amazon) Victor Wooton shows that you can slide these fast with your thumb when tapping, wondering which are best and because if a loose fretwrap does similar job to hairband maybe no need to hunt for wraps?

    the advantage of a 7 string bass is that it can also be used to hang up and let the laundry dry.😊
