That may work as well

My life is about foam insulation and zip ties. Thanks for sharing the ingenuity.

Would you have a picture of that?

I put foam pipe insulation in the F holes on my Pfretzschner and it helps dampen against feedback. Where do you put foam on the EUB?

I play bluegrass and jazz...

A mute?? I had a MIM Fender fretless J. I would be more inclined to use the EUB in place of my '38 Kay upright. Would it be FAIL?

I play upright and electric with equal frequency, terrible pun, would I be happy with the EUB to handle both jobs?

Yeah I know little metal boxes sounded like a dis. I didn't think that through. I have some unconventional ways of looking at things

Never attribute maliciousness to something more easily explained by stupidity [or ignorance]

Now, now don't get shook. It has been a good faith effort to determine what is right for me. I watched quite a few You Tube videos to see what's what. I have made my decision and my side of the street is clean. Life is too short and I'm no troll. Have a better day. And no, that's not sarcasm.

Thank you. No preaching or moral high ground intended whatsoever. You points are intelligent and well taken. Purist in the sense of less adulterated without the judgment that less means better. Those playing in a classical orchestra setting are closest to what I mean by purist. No less valid are...

Good to know. I also love to argue with musicians trying to replicate (ie cover or tribute bands). I say it's nearly impossible, due in part to the same reasons you mentioned. It's a matter of where do you draw the line and admitting that the process involves subjectivity. Anything mixed...

Wow. I'm on it, thanks.

It's probably been done already

I'm sure the little metal boxes make you a better player. Have at it.
