wateroftyne Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hey gang I've been doing a lot of palm muting recently - it really suits some of the styles I'm playing. Playing with my thumb gets a bit tedious after a while though, so I've been experimenting with different sponges etc. Unfortunately, none of them have worked out, 'cos getting them in and out between songs is a bit hit and miss and they never quite feel right. So then, I thought about the Bassmute. But that's expensive, potentially marks the bass, and even if I could afford one it seems he's gone out of business anyway. So step forward Amy at [url="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Patton-Mute-Pad/563339190367081"]Patton Mute Pad[/url]. She makes cool little mutes [url="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.563378170363183.1073741829.563339190367081&type=1"]in a variety of different fabrics[/url], customised to fit your particular bass. It have a string attachment so you can install it in seconds between songs, it does the job perfectly. Slide it to and fro for different degrees of mute. What's more, it cost me around $20 including postage. Yes, it's more expensive than a chunk of sponge, but it's far more elegant than that. She's a delight to deal with, and it even comes in fab packaging. Marvellous. 100% recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks useful and less cumbersome than the bass mute. Would it be bad of me to point out the resemblance to one of these?

wateroftyne Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ha ha.. a similar thought had crossed my mind. I should point out that the string can easily be tucked underneath, avoiding any similarities :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Another user here, they're great! Standard sized one on my Starfire & a custom made one on the Precision, which tucks in nicely underneath the bridge cover.
