I use the a “musician’s practice glove” I got off Amazon in the Winter when its particularly cold (left hand only). I find it does make it more comfortable to play and the material is clingy so it doesn’t get in the way.
It’s good but the material isn’t very durable and will wear through eventually - quite pricey too at $16.99 for one or by Amazon’s logic in ignoring exchange rates, £16.99 for Brits.
I prefer electric string warmers to gloves for cold weather playing. If they’re going to stick a 9 volt in your bass, you might as well use it for something.
I’m going to necro this month dead thread…
So I too saw the bass playing YouTuber that wears a glove and I was curious. After I figured out his need/reason, I wondered if it would work for me. I have constantly sweaty hands. Nothing that I have ever seen a doctor for, but something that is probably an actual condition I could be treated for. I have noticed that moving my fretting hand up and down the neck is quite difficult because my fingers tend to stick due to the sweat. I initially considered putting some powder on the neck/my hands, but I feel like that would eventually cause too many issues with making the bass dirty.
I have been wanting to try some gloves to see if this might help, but I was a bit worried it might impede my playing (especially since I am learning), so I am glad I was able to filter through and get the few bits of actual feedback here 
If anyone has any more to report, or wants to share some reviews on the gloves they tried I would appreciate it.
I’d say go for it! There is nothing to lose and all to gain! Just make sure they are fairly snug. Get the medical cotton gloves that you should be able get at a pharmacy for about 10 bucks for two pairs (or thereabout).
And, oh well, yeah, be prepared to get flamed in here for bringing this up - you saw what they did to me, these heartless, soul-eating fellow bass players 
Good tip on the medical gloves! I had not thought of that but those are probably perfect!
And I’m not afraid of looking like a fool…if I was, I would never have plucked my first string! I still would have bought a bass…you look cool holding one. But as soon as someone asks me to play something, I lose all cool points.
Thanks, @Mark_D - yeah, I think we had established that, and @brandoncmurphy had alluded to it. Now, I don’t have THAT problem (luckily), but was curious about other “benefits” of playing with a glove when I originally posted my question. My main conclusions are: it reduces friction (on the front and back of the neck), it reduces noises from fingers scraping across the strings, and it doesn’t really interfere with playing otherwise, (and, perhaps, yeah, it looks a bit goofy).
This is what I was mostly concerned about. I wasn’t sure how it would affect my playing, and while less than $10 isn’t too much to be out of pocket if it didn’t work, I was worried it would have a negative impact that I wasn’t experienced enough to notice.
As much as I love the B2B course, I am always nervous I am going to be missing something or unconsciously developing some bad habit that would be easy for someone to call me out on in person. So I tend to be a little hyper vigilant when it comes to me doing something even a little bit different than what @JoshFossgreen says on the videos. I think I will give the glove a try on my fretting hand to help moving without sticking
When this question was first posted a few months ago, I gave it a try by using a few gloves I had laying around the house. First, I tried my son’s second baseman’s glove that he had left behind. Then I tried my other son’s hockey glove. Neither of those worked. Then, I tried one of my oven mitts from the kitchen. That didn’t work well either. I finally broke down and ordered some musicians gloves from Amazon (the same ones that Scott Devine uses). I occasionally wear one of the gloves on my fretting hand during practice, but not always. I still haven’t decided whether or not it improves my playing.
I’m not necessarily looking for it to improve my playing so much as hopefully remove a small hurdle that is making my playing more difficult. But at the same time, I want to make sure it is not somehow negatively impacting me learning to play properly.
I hope that makes sense.
I tried the Micky Mouse glove I got at Disney World last year, but I had an issue fretting the G spring because it only has three fingers…That was the only glove I had.
Attempting it with a three fingered glove sounds quite challenging Brandon, so hats off to you for giving it a JOLLY GOOD TRY.
I know I am breaking the trend here, but for the threads second or third serious post:
I ordered the Musician’s Practice Glove in medium (tan color). And I practiced with it last night for the first time.
My middle finger measured almost exactly the recommended measurement, so I went with the recommended size and the glove is pretty tight. The finger length isn’t so much of an issue as the finger width. If you have long narrow fingers, then it probably isn’t an issue; however thick fingers become a problem and it is a little difficult to get your fingers in the glove without it feeling like the glove is going to tear.
Once I got it on, I think it worked pretty well. I am only using it on my fretting hand, so I don’t need to worry about it changing the sound much at all. I was a little worried that it wouldn’t feel the same and that would throw off my (very limited) muscle memory. The first 10 seconds or so were a bit different, but I got used to it very rapidly.
Finally, I did notice that the glove keeps getting caught ever so slightly on one of my lower fret wires. (between second and third fret). I don’t have that problem on any other frets, so I suspect there is just an issue with the end of the fret wire. The ‘snagging’ is almost imperceptible. Not enough to slow me down or hinder play, but I notice that I feel just a little tug when I do micro shifts along those frets and the finger that slides along it has a tiny hair of fabric starting to pull out.
So, all in all, thick hands/fingers, definitely don’t size down! Other than that, it is working good. I am not sticking any longer and I can play much faster with ease.
That’s great. Sliding must be much smoother with the glove also, especially if you’re playing with round wound strings.
Will you post a demonstration of yourself pre and post gloves?
