This simple and affordable 5th string capo has been around for many years and is preferred by many professionals. It offers consistent capo pressure on the 5th string at every half step, as opposed to spikes that give limited options and which stretch the string forcing you to tunetab inopportune moments. Just slide the BC-5 up or down and it's spring-loaded mini-arm will give clear 5th string tone wherever you need without the need to re-tune.
