I've seen many people use them quite effectively when doing 2 hand tapping.. Ariane Capp is a good example. Check her out on u-tube. When I was experimenting with tapping I used a hair scrunchie like Vic but it was a pain to get on and off, change strings etc. This is a good alternative.
my 2 cents
 
One of the studios here has a "Bluck" knob on their console.
I'd never noticed it, and asked the engineer about it.

"That's for when it blows, and sucks."

It was "a function free" knob they just made a label for, but it was a bit of an inside joke after that, to see when they "engaged it."

sounds like bluck humor to me. Great for those who bluck up, or suffer a performance bluck.. Awesome!
 
This baby should be here before the week's end. I'm excited, the best sounding bass I have has similar woods. My first Sadowsky, so maybe I can join this club too...lol?

Interested in your experiences with ash body, maple top, morado fingerboard. This bass has hum canceling pickups, but that could change if I don't here the snap I'm used too, any input is appreciated.

Even taken with the usual grain of salt, the endorsements speak loudly. A number of top players (including Vic Wooten, IIRC) use a scrunchie. Why not something more elegant, actually designed for the job? I think the fretwrap is a great idea.

That said, I personally wouldn't use it because I'm not a fancy player: I'm a stay-at-home support guy who doesn't slap much.

I'm like you. However, I'd kind of dig trying it out. Might be cool for certain songs.
