I love mine! It just needed some modding...which if I recall left me in bad standing with some purists over at the rickresource forums...
Ya ... they are an unfriendly bunch over there ...

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.
Not sure why that would be. Only half of your palm would be muting the string, the other half on the "dead" part of the string below the bridge. Sounds inefficient, and with less control.
For me palm muting is about slightly decreasing the ring on the string. The bridge is where I can do that with control. When I palm mute away from the bridge it makes the string go dead, but at the bridge I can firmly place my hand there and get the tone I am looking for. That doesn't work anywhere else.

This is what it is for me, but apparently muting is different things to different people.
We can all still be friends, though!
