Using a Capo??

[iamthebassman]

I use one on one song, to hold the drone C on the E string while I "noodle" higher up the neck on the D and G strings.

I used to use one occasionally on my 4-string bass. Now that I play 6+, I can't find a capo that fits. A lot of times I'd like to have one for the D,G,C strings when tapping.

Occasionally, but just to mess around. I've used the Helping Hand capo to just capo one or two strings.

I'm not familiar with capos, and one could come really handy for drones&stuff. However, I was convinced that capos "fret" all stings, which is less than usefull for me. Can you provide me with a link for that capo you are using, that can fret just one or two strings? And is capo "grip" gig reliable (that is, will it stay put if I move&jump a lot?)

best regards

This can do what you're asking, also covers the other person looking for a capo that'll do a 6 string bass:

That looks incredible, thanks. It seems more gig sturdy than bass it self.

Anything else on market beside Spider?

Mark Hoppus from blink-182 (and consequently, myself when covering it uses one for "I Miss You"

Why would he need a capo, he only plays the root notes
