Muting Low B string

[toons545]

Hey everyone,
I find that I'm having trouble muting the low B string of my lakland. I play where my right thumb is always on the string below the one that I'm playing (like If I'm playing on the D string, my thumb rests on the A string. I find that especially if i play a bassline that only uses the A, G, D strings, (like "funkifize" by Tower of Power, for example) that my low B string starts to rumble. Also my Low E will do this aswell but not as bad. I haven't really found any way of preventing this. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
johnny

Mute with your left hand or palm. Some of those tower of power licks are almost impossible to play correctly and do the muting on a 5 string, one of the reasons I ended up getting a 4.. Just couldn't play "What is Hip?" the way I wanted to

You could always try floating thumb technique. There's a sticky for it in this forum. Make sure you read through most of it as the beginning of the thread has a hard time defining what floating thumb actually is.

Good luck playing Rocco Prestia lines with floating thumb...
