sammybee Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Has anybody tried this contraption https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/gruv-gear-fump-bridge-side-bass-string-dampener?variant=45003427578150¤cy=GBP Years ago I had this handy little fabric pad which I slipped under the strings on my Jazz (both the pad and the Jazz are now long lost) - was wondering if this would work in the same way?

Reggaebass Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Yes I’ve got one of those, they mute the strings quite heavily , which is good if you’re looking for that but I found it a bit too much, i did lots of experimenting with different types and sometimes the foam under the strings at the bridge does a good job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyBeard Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I have one and it is a waste of money. Piece of foam works much better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I contacted them and suggested they change the name to String Strangler but they never got back to me. Edited October 18, 2023 by jd56hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammybee Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 I decided to skip this purchase based on the comments. I found a 3/4" strip off a cheap Magic Eraser worked really well, slipped under the strings behind the bridge - happy days!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I think yourself and Bluewine must be related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
