    Bass playing glove...what's the deal?

    I have recently started seeing "bass playing gloves" for the neck hand. Has anyone had any experience with these? Are they silly? Amazing? Thoughts?

    Title track from one of my all time favorite albums. Funk pioneer Louis Johnson lent his talents for every track on this this album except "Rock With You". Tuned a half step down.
