Not sure this is the correct forum, there doesn't seem to be anywhere for hardware related posts. Anyhow, I fitted a bassmute to my beloved Bacchus Jazz today. I will post up some sound clips tomorrow. It is a great piece of kit and something I think I will use a fair bit!
Tell me about it - but unfortunately I do not have the facility to machine my own device at home. Using rubber under the strings did not work half as well, of course.
quick question.... is there any means on the bassmute to adjust the amount of pressure pushing against each string individually? I'm muting with a random chunk of foam but notice imbalance, particularly after the grooves begin wearing in.
There is indeed - you can move each foam piece indipendantly of the others - ther can be moved and then tightened against the shaft with grub screws. This is the reason I got it because I never found a piece of foam that worked evenly!
