Harley Benton NeckWrap Medium

Right.

I've joined a metal covers band that play a lot of songs with a lot of notes.

I had seen gubbins online that has suggested that neck wraps are really useful to help notes fall away and make room for the next notes you play, so I thought I'd have a go.

I don't think it's going to work for me.

- I prefer open strings at times, this makes the resonance when I go for a open string obviously die away too much.
- It was a complete B**l ache to get over the headstock of a bass guitar. I'm sure I tore some of the stitching doing it.
- I've seen others just use an elastic hair tie.
- The other option is the good 'ol bit of foam at the bridge which bass player have used for decades.

In conclusion, I think this my be really good for some people, but I don't think it's going to stay on my bass for long. This is as much to do with my style of playing as anything else.
