no Rope dub is totally different than any style of tying with dubbing that there is. The guy (DonO) is the guy that came up with it like 30 years ago, but I think last year was the first time he put it on DVD. He showed it to people at shows and such and they thought that they could then remember enough to go do that too, but usually not so.

No one using this type system like the MP Magic tools is not even close to the same thing and it's hard to explain in a post. There are 3 or 4 ways to dub, one is like MP does it, then the old style used forever where you make a dubbing loop and bud like that. Then there is the way it's done normally on a Nor Vise and last but not least is DonO's rope dub which is faster and can do more with it than any although Norm's way on the Nor Vise is very cool and good too, but you can't do as much as you can with rope dub. MP kind of does the loop method, but splits the thread and makes hi loop like that and some just make a loop without splitting the thread which is probably the oldest way. Still all work and just how much you can do with each and how easy or not each is. I know how to use them all, but am mostly concentrating on rope dub now and also some of MP Magic tool stuff too as I like ti as well.

You really wouldn't believe how much you can do with rope dub. Oh and just to be clear it's not dubbing rope, it's rope dubbing and they are very different than dubbing brush. Rope dub I think you can do mast anything and include it with out making any kind of brush.
