Does baby powder have the same effect as chalk on your hands if you play bass?

I play bass and they say it helps if you put chalk on your hands before playing. Would baby powder have the same effect?

NO. Baby Powder will leave your hands a little bit oily, but chalk is totally dry. you can use corn starch too and its cheap!
get this 2-string bass http://www.BogdonMusic.com
Forget powders. Try either Fast Fret, which comes in a small spray can, or Finger Ease, which is a stick type lube. I’ve used both and they work pretty dang good. One other thing I do is keep my guitars
wiped down with Scott’s Liquid Gold. It cleans and preserves wood. Been using it since I can remember, and it makes your guitar shine.
Baby powder is slippery, chalk is coarse. I don’t play base but can’t image they would substitute for each orther
it’s not as effective. I’ve actually taken baby powder to gig haha.
let me tell ya, if you drink a lot of beer the previous night, then take ephedrine the next night - all those chemicals/sweat will come pouring out of your hands.
