Trying a 'new' right hand muting technique

[Les Fret]

This is a muting technique for six string bass I am working on lately. I dampen the B string with the base of my right hand and make the open E, and D strings short with my thumb while playing with index and middle fingers on the G and C string. Not easy, but very useful for playing chords and arpeggios. Especially when you don't want to turn it in blurring mess.

Forgot to say that you can of course do this just as well on a 4 or 5 string bass. What do you think, is it useful for you or not?

None interested? Or not useful?

It's not the same and I don't apply (real) palm muting in this case. What I do is make the notes that I play with my thumb (open strings) short by placing the thumb immediately back after I have played them. This is to prevent them from ringing through. Otherwise the open strings will ring over each other which results in a mess. You can see that in the video. This is a classical guitar technique. I also damp the lower string that I don't play with the palm of my right hand. I hope this makes it more clear?
