String mutes for MIM Jazz ??

Hiya all well I'm into a Motown phase at the moment and I'm looking for that deep mushy Jamerson sound from my MIM 60s Jazz bass, without having to get the Fender US 62 Precision re-issue!.
Some months ago I fitted some flatwounds which when cranked on the neck pickup with the treble rolled down is close, but I need to deaden the strings more.
Ive heard of people using erasers and other stuff under the strings to use as string mutes, anybody done this or have any other ideas?.
(by the way I have got the big F ashtray bridge cover fitted)

Cheers, Gaz

Do what Tony Levin did on Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up": stuff a disposable nappy under the strings. (The [url="http://www.elephant-talk.com/wiki?title=Interview_with_Tony_Levin_in_Making_Music&printable=yes"]Super Wonder Nappy Sound[/url]!)
