Bass mute question. Advice please?


Recommended Posts

Please excuse my ignorance as I am a guitar player by trade.

 

I have a nice Vintage V4 Bass (P-Bass-style thing) and I'm about to do some recording in the studio with it. I'm looking for suggestions on what to use as a mute for the strings. Currently, I'm using some foam for the job which you should be able to see in the image below.

 

Are there any other things I could try that might yield better results? Felt, etc

 

My reason for muting is that I want a vintage tone for the recordings, with minimal clank and to make the notes more percussive. I'll be playing with a pick, as I like that fast attack it gives the notes on more complex runs.
