    Double Bass I know this sounds crazy

    I have tried many different methods of muting-- foam, sponge, Nino, etc. For one reason or another, I always found them unsatisfactory. I know that a fret wrap isn't supposed to do this. But I put a wrap on my UB 804 between the nut and the first "fret" position. Couldn't believe it. It...

    Bridge foam mute

    We all know the foam under the bridge trick to mute for a Motown sound. We also know that I can look a little goofy, especially if you're using a bright blue kitchen sponge from the grocery store.

    Fretwraps: Cheating?

    Just got my new Dingwall six on Tuesday and as expected I'm going to need to work hard on my muting technique. Not as expected, this bass is way more prone to ringing than my Ibanez five string - far beyond the fact that there's an extra C on there, it just seems to be way more "alive" or finely...
