I use fret wraps and like them. I use a L for my LTD 6 string and an XL for my 7-string Ibanez.

What size fret wrap for an Ibanez sr
- Thread starter Drop1
- Start date
I was eye balling that case. Is it decent? It looks nice and traveling with my bass laid across the backseat with no protection bothers me. It would also be nice to have pockets for cables and strings.
It would depend on which Ibanez SR you were referring to...
From left to right:
the SRC6 got the Gruv Gear Ibanez Fretrwap MD, the SRH505 got the Walnut MD, the SRFF806 got the Ebony LG, the SRF705 got the Walnut MD, and the SRAS7 got the Red Bandana XL.
That fretless is beautiful. I want one so bad but I know it won't get much play time. When I bought current sr i almost bought a SRFF instead. I didnt because i wasnt sure if i could adapt to the fan fret layout. How do you like it?
Man, loving that SR collection, especially the SRF705. I'd still like to try a Portamento someday, and although I probably wouldn't know what to do with the SRAS7, but it's hard not to like.
Lots of pros use muting devices of some kind. Carol Kaye for one, and I'm no one to tell her she's doing it wrong.
I'm not really trying to mute with it. My bass is a harmonic MONSTER. I just want it to chill a bit and will use the wrap as a second point of contact to get the harmonics in check.
I get that. I'm just defending the use of devices for either muting the overall sound, or just quieting sympathetic vibrations or whatever, be it foam, hair scrunchy, or fret wrap. It's not controversial and is used by professionals.
I understand. I was just talking. Not really pointed at you. Shouldnt have quoted you.
It's every bit as good as the Gator Pro Go I've had for six years...not quite as much storage, but I don't need too much.
The rain coat is free...used to cost $26 extra...so that's nice.
Thanks. I don't need much storage either. Just a backup set if strings and a few cables in different lengths.
Yeah, I vote troll too. The fret wraps state quite clearly the size needed for each bass - he doesn't even mention what bass he "has" and hasn't shown any interest in the ensuing discussion.

Generally they are not used for getting a palm muted type "thump".
Since they are between the fretting hand and the nut.
Not the plucking hand and the bridge.

I use a "small" with a 4-string SR, and it fits perfectly (will work with most 4-strings)
This is a fine product. It works really well for muting your strings while tapping, etc. To be fair, it's possible that a scrunchy will work just as well. IDK. But this sure works well

I don't use the Portamento SRF705 that often either. Still, it's a real treat to play with 2 magnetic pickups, 2 bands EQ, and under saddle piezo, though they kinda make the tonality options quite overwhelming. These days I tend to use more on the piezo pickups only (both magnetic pickups vol at 0, which also means the onboard EQ isn't used), more so after owning the Aerium SRH505 which only has the under saddles piezo. Combined with the chambered body, they create pleasing warm and woody sounds, which then made me GASSing for the fretless Aerium SRH505F. Until I really could own one, the Portamento will still get playtimes it deserves.
Regarding the Multi-Scale SRFF, I think by now you should have read quite a lot of real user experiences saying that there's no adaptation needed to play a fanned fret bass. With no doubt, I was able to play my SRFF instantly when I first got it. Some would explain fanned fret as the natural positions which our fretting fingers need.
As long as you can use it, then it's the right size for your bass.
I found when the size is too big, the Fretrwap will curve, thus the middle strings (AD, EAD,...) won't get muted.
