Gruv Gear FretWraps Puff Guitar String Dampener for Bass, Electric, Acoustic & Extended Range Guitars in Studio, Live & Practice - Resonance for Tapping & Recording - Pink - Pack of 1

The best Fret Wrap I have ever used. This is the industry standard for a pros Fret Wrap for recording and live. Slightly more expensive than others, but believe me it is worth it, and they will last you.

If you use high gain sounds on your guitar or bass then you should check out one of these. They really do help in eliminating the sounds of unwanted open strings and ringing notes. Not a replacement for learning a good clipped muting technique using the side of your palm close to the bridge, though. Heavy Metal & Punk players would appreciate this device. Fits well on my PRS DC3 guitar & on my 4 string Fender Jazz bass.

This works surprisingly well and damps down a lot of unwanted ringing.I have a Godin Freeway 4 bass which is extremely resonant and lively with incredible sustain. Not being an expert player means it's not easy for me to make it sound good when open strings are ringing out constantly.I've tried various DIY fixes but found this is much better and doesn't look like you got your bass tangled up in your laundry. I do like the way my bass sounds with it on too, I am able to get closer to the sound I want and the strings seem to have much more balanced output levels and tone. I Found out after trying it that it is supposed to be wrapped around the frets but that would limit the use of the fingerboard and add too much damping. I have been using it wrapped around the nut so it covers the strings on both sides of the nut, this gives me the result I want.I know my technique needs work and I will feel more inclined to practice now that I have tamed down a lot of unwanted sounds.

I always thought these were a bit of an expensive gimmick but honestly, they work brilliantly for stopping some (not all!) unwanted overtones. I use them when recording Bass and they have saved many a take that otherwise would have been ditched due to a random ringing string. They are expensive for what they are, no dispute. But they work as intended every time and you don't have to fanny around concocting some hideous thing out of a sock, some rubber bands, and a dead sparrow. Bass life hack.

A must have for recording to keep excess string noise under control. Well made item, design is better then first design they brought out years ago.

I play regular 6 string guitar, so bought a size small.Does exactly what it says on the tin

I bought this as I’d just bought my first Floyd Rose equipped electric guitar and the Floyd system on my axe is so resonant, it produces pretty loud ‘sympathy’ notes I guess they’re called - sounds like you’re picking the strings beyond the nut - especially with high gain or distortion.I was hoping this wrap would fully solve that...it didn’t, not entirely at least. It has muted the unwanted noise slightly, but, not entirely and not to the degree I expected and hoped for. Whether it’ll have more of an impact on the springs themselves I’ll have to wait and see. It seems to work fine on guitars without locking nuts though!As a side note, although I don’t really do so, you CAN use it as a movable capo - handy option to have. Great product, just not perfect for what I wanted.

Excellent ease of use does the job
