Wrist bands...

Last night was humid, sticky shit and I'm tired of sticking to the finish on my bass.

I've never used them before. Are they just the ones sold at sporting goods stores? Or do is there some sort of special finish safe rockstar version?

When I was in a screamo band playing my LP I’d constantly tear my forearm up and started wearing one. Just get some off Amazon.

Yeah I just use regular wrist bands from Amazon etc. Kimmi recently gave me a cool one with the Van Halen logo :lol: so I'll use that from now on lol

Man, I played a few outdoor shows where my forehead instantly turned into a waterfall as soon as I hit the first chord!
The sweat stung my eyes and blinded me making it impossible to play.
I used to laugh at the red headband that Mark Knophfer wore but, now, I bring a bandanna to every summer show.

My sweaty left hand also sticks the strings so, I have to grease up the strings with Fast Fret (mineral oil) before going on.
