Hutton Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 This is maybe a long shot but I wondered if anyone can throw some light on an accessory that Bob Babbitt has on his precision close to the bridge. It looks like some kind of muting device. It can be seen on an ad on page 13 of the October issue of 'Bass Player'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) Any idea how much they are - and if it's really better than a piece of foam? Edited October 7, 2010 by stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection is that they were not at all cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
