ScottBass86 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi, I seem to have ended up with two of these, possibly a shipping error or a typo in a drunken stupor! Anyway, here's the blurb from the site: [b] Fump[/b] [b] Palm-muted bass tone. Minus the palm.[/b] [color=#333333][font=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Free up your muting palm and discover a new path to the old school. The Fump is a simple muting device that slides over the strings against the bridge of your 4- or 5-string electric bass to instantly recreate that sweet staccato sound - without using your palm! The Fump was born as a natural step following the wild success of our[url="http://www.gruvgear.com/fretwraps"]FretWraps[/url], and from numerous requests from players like you. If you've ever stuffed foam under the strings to try to achieve that coveted "old school" muted or upright tone, then you might give the Fump a try! While we definitely encourage mastering proper palm muting, the Fump simply opens up possibilities to discover new techniques and gives your hands the freedom to "dig in." [i]A few things to note:[/i][/size][/font][/color][list] [*]Works best when string fingerboard setup has little to no radius [*]Takes only a second to slide on or off, unlike the old cut foam solution [*]Clips onto your strap or music stand when not in use [*]Has no moving parts [*]Can be inserted from top or bottom [*]Requires only a 1" (2.5 cm) of space between pickup and bridge [*]Replaceable muting materials [/list] Here's a youtube clip I found: [color=#333333][font=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2][url="https://youtu.be/ssNmSqrS5WI"]https://youtu.be/ssNmSqrS5WI[/url][/size][/font][/color] £13 posted.

Owen Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Will this do 5 strings? If so I would like it. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBass86 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi, I've not had chance to try it on my 5, but the website states suitable for 4 or 5 string basses, I guess as long as the spacing isn't huge! If your still interested drop me a PM. PayPal would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
