string mute

I was going to ask, but I found the website from the url of the jpg in the picture!

http://www.bassmute.com

The company is in Holland. Any idea if any stores in the US sell these?
 
I just use the top part of an old thick black sock that I cut off.

Could you take a pic of the flatwound/felt tactic?

The red ribbon on the Ibanez SRX700 is a strip of felt I cut off a sheet of felt from Ben Franklin Crafts here. The blue on the old P-bass is the surgical boot foam. Since I play with a mute 99% of the time I just leave these elcheapo solutions on the basses all the time.

Hope that helps.
