I"ve seen Victor Wooten and Bill Dickens use what looks like a cloth covered hair tie to mute unwanted strings from vibrating and possibly as a capo.Does anyone know what ther're using,how they're using them and where you can get them? Thanx

It's just a regular hair tie, just ask your girlfriend/mother/sister where they buy theirs.

When you say girlfriend/sister/mother... you don't mean one woman that is all three, do you? :D

Well, it's probably not tight enough to serve as a capo. Anyway, those things are better left to guitarists! :D
