tape/clothing on neck?

[theganjie]

I use tape and/or thumb method on the neck.. for the bridge and headstock i use a small bit of foam

 

[Sloan]

Found some thin foam, shit fucking rules.

Fretwraps looks cool but it sucks that you can only buy them in packs of 3, and it's 3 of the same size. If it was one small one medium one large I'd totally be buying some!

Ordered some Fretwraps after seeing Fred Brum and Ola using them.

does it work well with rythm guitar or only solos and tapping?

 

[JeffTD]

Gaff tape, masking tape, socks, foam from old EMG packaging, etc.

 

[infectdsniper]

i just fold paper towels to where they sit under the strings. and for solos put it on the first fret and make sure its not putting enough pressure to detune at all.

I use tube socks for that warm analog tone.

You can pretty much adjust how tight you want it to be without overly damping anything, been using it for months now. They last long. I'm using the small size still it could easily fit on my 5 string bass.

that FretWraps look nice but I need something like that for "behind the saddle" So you can play like normal but without the nasty string headstock noise when you play with a TOM bridge or any other bridge that doesnt have lockings instead of a saddle

LOL

Resisting urge to sig.

 

[FIXXXER]

a piece of thin foam works best for me!

 

[Vicioushead]

People do this all the time? Holy crap, I've been killing myself for ages for having string spill on some of my recordings!

do you play electric guitar? I am curious if it could be used live (for ex. for a bit cleaner complex tapping parts, while not cutting off the note tail on bends etc.)

The fretwraps are great. There's no cutting of tails with notes when you mute the open strings. Have a look at this video:

Holy shit she makes that bass sing

 

[LeSedna]

I would probably enjoy this video if it didn't take 3mn to even get to the point !

She can play, btw.

I got a dirty sock around the neck. It works.

 

[53Crëw]

I actually use grommets. The rubber dampens the string vibration extremely well and you don't have a hair tie (or whatever) wrapping around the back of the neck. Costs less than a dollar at the local hardware store.

What does that do for string noise while playing?

A thin slice of rubber underneath the unused strings. A bitch to put on and remove but it works wonders!
