Welcome Rigetto 👍

Exactly, I didn’t know what they were about until I tried one, and then I totally got it

I’ve done untold experiments with various foam mutes, (hence why there’s no washing up sponges left in the house 😁) we had another thread on it, but I haven’t done one under the bridge cover, can’t you leave the foam longer so you can pull it out easy , or if that mutes too much cut the bit sticking out up at an angle so it’s not touching the strings, kinda like this

Really like this one from the Wailing souls , there’s another version with Alborosie but I think this is better

The link wouldn’t work, it does look nice

I like the earlier snoop and Dre but some of the newer tracks I find not so good

Nice looking 66 precision came up on reverb in the uk, they saying it’s all original, I keep telling myself not to look 😁

I’ve got D’addario tapes on 2 jazzes, probably around 7 years old now but still sound great and they’re really smooth now, I did buy the Fender black nylon tapewounds but they didn’t feel right, they were a bit tacky

I made one for my old shell pink jazz that I put together as a project, I think they work quite well, I play with a fairly light touch so it wasn’t a huge difference but if for some reason you wanted to reduce digging in it would work

I find the custom shop 1960 pickups very good and the noiseless ones in my jazz elite are really good, I’m not too sure on the electronics of those though as it’s an active jazz, but it has passive mode, would they work?

Hi SH, I’ve got some original isolated drum tracks saved from Carlton Barrett which I use for playing over , don’t know if they are of any assistance to you, you might be able to break them down ..

My drum skills are pretty much nil , stick with it I’m sure it will come

Just remembered I had this one saved of Donovan miller, you might like this @SH73

Yeah definitely a different feel compared to metal, check out some of Karigan reggae drummer video’s, he’s really good, you might have to browse through as he’s got lots of different ones like, one drop, roots , rockers etc

Sounds nice, any pics

Just watching a film and was surprised to hear an Anthony Johnson track in the background, classic tune

I was just about to share one similar to that, I think there was one for sale here once like this

Always, don’t you 😁

Not really as the foam will mute the fretted notes while the fretwrap is the open strings

They dampen and cut down the overtones of open strings , I’ve got them on all my basses

Drop @ped a message 👍

Pretty sure admin/moderator has to do this for you, there’s no setting for it 🙂

Welcome Simon 👍

I’ve got quite a few fender jazzes various colours and types , the one I’d say is a favourite is a 2014 Olympic white US one, but very close is a jazz elite, both very different , it took me a while to get used to the elite active controls but now I know the sweet spots , and build wise I think you would struggle to get a better quality than the elite
